Rushing to get my boiler installed before winter, Its aan EFM 700 with a Jentleman Janitor stoker, we have tested our local Bituminous and it burns well, should be able to burn Anthracite or Bit which is difficult to do.

The pex is insulated inside the pvc pipe, thats about as good as I can do short of pulling a vacume on the PVC.
I will be making a trip to PA to pick up the stoker and boiler soon.
