When you see the air test video you will hear a lot of air leaking.

At first it felt like it was blowing out of the firebox which seemed impossible since there were no pressured connections to the boiler.

I found the trouble. The steam line was split nearly top to bottom. It must have been left to freeze with water still in it.
