Steam boilers - The inside story - Lots of videos

These are videos done by SpiraxSarco regarding steam boiler operation.
While these are of commercial boilers I feel a lot of the same rules apply to small low pressure systems as well. I highly recommend giving the videos a watch in order at least once. I've watched them all quite a few times.

Here is a good article on boiler corrosion as well and again while not written about small boilers like ours I feel most of the rules still apply.

I've been looking for a video of this forever. It's the glass piped Weil-McLain.
@MarkS found the link for me.

I'd swear I saw a video from another angle where the steam from the header was blasting into a parking lot, but haven't been able to find it. Might have just been photos.
I think you may be thinking of the pictures and Dan's awesome writing. He has a way of painting a picture and making you feel like you're right there with him.
Those pictures were in Greening Steam.

what a great video, showing the reason for the advice we give here about piping.--NBC0

It would be nice to bring that boiler indoors and make some more easily understood recordings. Dan, maybe this would be a good way to start your oft-requested video series?0
