Is this unit for sale in BC one of yours, Hobbyheater?
Well, I need to read some more on the jet stream, but a boiler is in the plan. And this one is at 400 miles from my place. So if you guys are saying it is as efficient as most of todays boiler. I figured that with the expenses and thefuel of the drive the boiler would come to max 800$ . What do you guys think, should I go get it?
Get the owner to take some pictures of the inside of the boiler from the cleanout door at the back. The condition of the refractory is going to be key. If you can get some pictures, I would be happy to give you an opinion.
It is a boiler that has to have storage to work successfully. No storage leads to early refractory failure. The other down side is that it goes through a load of soft wood every hour and it takes on average of 6 hours to raise a 1,000 gallon storage tank 50 F.

I try again, HH you mentioned in your earlier posts that you had purchased a refractory base, some time ago. Do you know if they can still make them?
and I am only 250 miles away, so I could beat Fi Q to it. LOL!!
Hoobyheater,
You scared me with : ' So what's the issue with the jetstream ? Too small firebox ? What ever setup i will get, I am hoping for 1 to 2 fire a day maximum. So, hooestly, good deal or not, send the wife 5 to 8 time a day to tend a boiler in the barn / shop.......I will most likely end up divorce living in my shop .

He did reply that it is still available, and only said the exchanger did not leak when removed from service. He did not know condition of refractory.
