where to buy a 300,000 BTU coal fired steam boiler stoker

Don't know if it was already mentioned but Keystoker used to advertise up to one billion BTU's and on the their website they have one listed at 528K. Presumably it would be custom build for one million if they made it, I don't know of anyone that has purchased anything other than the standard smaller models from them.

AFAIK there is no ASME stamp on Keystoker, I know that's issue in other commercial buildings

I'd put in two boilers, run one when the heat load is light, in fall and spring, then fire them both up in the colder months..
You'll have a backup if one needs repairs, and you can find two smaller boilers for less money than a big monster boiler.

I'd go with two Axeman Anderson 260's or maybe an EFM for the lighter loads, then use an AA 260 for running hard through the winter. AA's like to work, EFM's will idle down nicely and not mind running with a very small load.
