Matt, at your advice I called Dan. He did call back and we ended up chatting for a couple hours. Nice guy, and has access to some parts. He advised to drill holes in pipe on coal bin side of tube to eliminate any back gas. I told him I go short on the Yuengling to get the same effect. Scott

Sorry guys but it doesn't look like the covers are gonna make the green. My friend Mark is just too excited about being a coalburner that he doesn't want the covers done. He wants it NOW!!! Oh well, there goes my green project A couple final pics to close out.
Bfore it left it got a good reaming with the pipe taps up to 1 1/4". Nothing worse than trying to put a joint together that is all rusted.
Hate to see this one go. These stokers are big and strong. All there.

Thank you for this post!!!! I sure hope all this info gets 'memorialized' in a safe place. (Heard a lawyer saying that and couldn't wait for an appropriate time to use it). Now we can pin a BTU rating to those GJ stokers and boilers we have.
Did you ever buy that rig in Bellows Falls????

Thanks, Scott. I've been wondering about the lb/hr capability of the (unused) GJ-62 stoker I have in the garage. Mystery solved.
