Just purchased a used boiler. Any info anybody has who made this model would be appreciated. What is the upper damper for? I am in the process of stripping it down for rebuilding. Any mods that should be done, feel free to chime in
Thank

No owners manual came with it but I do have the lame CD for assembly instructions. Seton models are 90, 130, and 180. Greenwood models are 100, 200, and 300 but I've never seen one with the bypass exhaust. If you search for Greenwood and Seton images I think that front panel/door construction is quite different. I think the sliding ash pan is another Adobe giveaway.NNYORKER thanks for the reply. I cannot find any info on the adobe to confirm what make this boiler is, if you have info in the way of the owners manual it would be appreciated. ( Pat's suggestion makes sense ) My plan when rebuilding is to move the HX down about 3" closer to the top of the refractory, move the supply inlet on the HX to the far right side of the header, return line to the far left side of the header for better cross flow on the water. Flat rope gasket all skin surfaces with no sealer, drill and tap all skins instead of tek screws. Put an extension onto the upper damper to protrude beyond the insulation in the back of the boiler to help prevent crud build-up on the insulation. Storage of some type after I see how this boiler operates. All the skins were completely rusted thru, replacements will be 16 gauge galvanized sheet steel. It does have an ash pan in the front below the load door. Also thinking of pouring castable refractory in the back floor where the exhaust flue area is for easier cleaning to prevent crud from sticking to the steel floor. Adding insulation in the area where the damper motor is located to reduce heat transfer to the motor.
Thanks

I do remember that now that you mention it. A hodgepodge of all of them combined. Probably is a Bethel / Seton.There was a company in ohio building them. Bethel engineering I think. They added a second exhaust for smoke release when loading the boiler.
