Really good luck, all the way 'round.

The original owner was right to get it to you.

You did a beautiful cleaning job and the boiler
and fittings looked great.

Now.....where did that burner come from?  I'm
guessing the craftsman did not make it.  What
was its original purpose?  It must have a story.
Inquiring minds want to know...I'm sure.

Good Luck,
Wayne

thanks Wayne
I have no idea what the original purpose of the burner was , I'm sure it was factory made for a certain application...but it works well for this boiler , I can see where the boiler builder "nipped" a bit off of 2 of the ears to make it fit. Incidentally the slits on top of the burner are slighty narrower than a razor blade because when I blasted it with walnut shells I had to clean (for hrs) the shells out of the slits and used a roofers hook asphalt shingle blade that I thinned down using my 1" belt sander. I'm glad the burner worked because I had quite a bit of time in it before a got my propane kit to test it.
