Need help identifying my boiler

12 years ago I purchased a house built in 1906. It originally had coal stoves in various rooms when it was constructed, but at some point these were removed and a coal boiler was installed. This boiler was eventually converted to oil by having a Beckett burner installed. After nearly going broke buying fuel oil I decided to use wood instead. Worked great at first, but that is now getting expensive as well. I want to switch it back to coal. However, I need to know what the make is so that I can find replacement grates for it as the originals are long gone. The only thing that has been changed is the ash door. Since that was the opening where the oil burner was installed, it was discarded. What is in its place is the firebox door. The door now covering the firebox was from an old US Radiator Capitol - Red Top. I'm located in MN, so pretty much anything related to coal burning is confined strictly to steam trains and tractors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm no help on identifying your boiler.

But you may want to call and talk to these people... http://heatherfurnace.com/index.php?page=grates.html

Hard to tell under that insulation but it has the general appearance of an American Radiator Cast iron sectional boiler.

I'm pretty sure american radiator company boilers have a four leaf clover on the cleanout door.

Grates ???

Looks like a job for a conversion stoker.

your boiler looks just like mine minus the two bottom doors which i believe where removed when converted to oil... i noticed you said you burned wood in yours was there anything special you did as this is what im looking at doing but cant seem to get a strait answer from anyone if i can ??

Sorry for the delay. For the burning of wood I had to put in a chimney liner to help with the draft as my chimney is 35'. I've since given up on wood and have started burning coal. Much easier, cleaner, and safer. This is what it was designed for, so I figured why not go back to it.
