My old furnace

Another source for new grates for old furnaces and boilers is Meyer's Supply in Johnstown, PA

Found them @ebay...seller is fairplay191

If the part you are looking for is not yet listed on our site please provide us with the following information (via E-mail): manufacturer and part number (if known) and the items dimensions. We have a vast supply of grates and parts for boilers and furnaces.

I like these grates, but I'm probably biased.

A stoker would work beautifully in this type of furnace

I had already bought a piece of strap metal like you show, thinking along the same line as you.

Great video

Wish i had started playing around with this earlier in the fall, it is a little hard now that it is cold. I would have changed my design on how i have it set up. It does heat well, and i think it is very efficent with all the cast iron mass. Now i must confess to something, when i bought this house in 79, the old coal bin was still in the basement along with some coal. If i remember right, i believe the old grates and lower door were in there and i threw them out. If only i would have kept them.

Franco, another neat video from the same guy.

Nice video. He does what I do in accumulating so many things there is no room to work.

Notice on the stove the ash door is so narrow there is no hope of installing an ash pan that would catch all the ash. It would have to be shoveled out which is messy. but for the amount he paid he got a great bargain.

Thanks for posting.
