That, I believe is a V&E stoker boiler. It is a moving grate stoker. I don't know how it works, that one there is the only one I have seen. I talked to him last year about it. His craigslist posting was deleted yesterday.

So, I guess you bought it from the guy in Newville? Take some more pictures of it, we would love to see it's insides!

Thanks StokerDan,
No, I didn't get it. I didn't know anything about it so I was hesitant to buy it.

I have never heard of a V&E.

I probably would have bought it if it wasn't so far way from me. I have only heard of V&E stokers, I have never see one in person. The guy said it was big, so my plan was to put a Yellow Flame or maybe even an EFM stoker in it.

I wonder how bought it?

He dropped the price and relisted it, I've just been kinda watching it too. I'd like to mess around with one of these old boilers someday but if I start another project in the near future, I'll end up on the outside looking in... :bop:

Your right Bunk! He dropped it to $500.

**Broken Link(S) Removed**

That's still a bit high for an unknown like that. It would have to be at least pressure tested for me to pay that much. When I talked to him he said his father had the grate re-cast back in the 70's. I don't know if he has a spare of not.

I have this bad habit of putting stokers in boilers they don't belong in, so I would just stick one on my Van Wert's in it and that would be that!
