    How far back do Wood Gun boilers go? Would this one be a gassifier type.
    I don't think I'm in a position to buy one, but I thought it's interesting.

    I have 750 gallons of fuel oil in my tank. I am converting to natural gas.
    This means I have to get rid of my Wood Gun boiler, which also burns firewood.

    If someone can take 500-600 gallons, they can have it for $1000.
    If someone wants the Wood Gun boiler, it's yours for just about any offer. But you have to haul it away. Easy access out of the house, too. It works nice.

    Does not have to be a package deal. Call 461-7850.

    They go VERY far back - like early 1980's.
    Also, many of the early models developed holes and leaks, so I would be extremely careful in taking one on.

    Hey, thanks!

    (I wish I was getting natural gas on my road too, but it'll never happen!)

    I'll never get gas here either. He didn't say how old it was. To bad he wasn't selling this last August.
    I just forwarded it to my friend who is interested in gasifiying.
    Thanks

    That guy is alot smarter than I am. I went through all the work of hauling mine out to the yard to wait for the scrap dealer to pick it up.

    See if he can email you pictures - don't pass it up until you rule it out for good reason.
