Everything has a beginning. I'll bet someone will come up with a way to remove the ashes automatically. Then there will be built in leaf blower cleanings so the whole system will be mostly automated.

Aka leaf blower, it would kind of like 'blowing tubes' on an old steam driven destroyer. Have air jets pointed upward and connect an air compressor to them. Blast away!

That's a really cool setup. The last bit of the vid looks quite dusty though Did anyone see the canadian dude with the automated sunflower seed burning boiler? He's on youtube somewhere, I posted it a while back.

I was in nuke subs in the 60's so the only tubes we blew were the 4 up front and the 16 BIG ONES amidships. My brother was a skimmer on the Oriskany, the Newport News, and an old destroyer, the Earnest G. Small, not so affectionately known as the 'Dirty Ernie'. One day while tied up at the destroyer wharf in Pearl, someone decided to blow the tubes directly upwind from an Admiral's garden party............. Needless to say, TSHTFAN!!

There are a lot of Europeans' using bulk pellets... and I kinda like being able to buy pellets in smaller bags that they sell there (about 20#'s or so)... great for decrepit old farts with bad backs... not mentioning any names...

There are several pellet plants here that ship ONLY to Europe. One is down here in Georgia sucking up all our pine trees.

I like the 20# bag idea. Either that or a stronger wife
