A friend of a friend offered me this free. It is huge! It looks like a central boiler in his photo but when I drove an hour out to see it it is probably a homemade but looks well made.

The man flips houses and zoning won't let him install a gas replacement until this is gone.

My gasser is on it's last leg so I got real excited but now I'm having second thoughts. It has no plate so I don't know the weight, it will be a real pain to move and CT won't legally let you replace a phase 2 with a plain Jane.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Any guess on weight so I know if I can put it on my trailer?

Should I take it or walk away?View attachment 263360View attachment 263361View attachment 263360View attachment 263361View attachment 263362View attachment 263363View attachment 263364View attachment 263365View attachment 263366

Leave it where it is.

The only way I would touch that is if I knew for sure that there was enough scrap value in it to make it worth my while to haul it to a scrap yard.

Which I highly doubt, as the scrap market here right now seems to be in the toilet. At least that's what the guy cleaning up scrap around our place right now told us before he started.

Looking at the pictures i would say, thanks for letting me look at the pictures.

You have no idea if important details were followed or ignored when building it. I'd stay away.

About $40/ton for scrap steel. Was up around $100/ton a few years ago.

Looks like the metal skin would make good top cover for wood pile. Everything else is bonus!
