in THE MAIN WALL
We are replacing this with a Buderus atmopsheric gas boiler. It was tough enough to get the old owner to do this ... I let him know I think he got his moneys worth out of the old unit..   :)

    The Mills

    was the best boiler of its time, and is still being made. But that one probably wasn't running at its best with that conversion burner.



    Is the second Mills a spare?

    Middle of the night?

    I would not like to be the one that had to get out of bed in the middle of a cold winter night to shovel coal into this beast.  As a kid one of the schools I went to had augers feeding the two monster HW boilers.  Some of us actually used to get up to help the old man that shoveled coal into the hoppers. Our reward was hot radiators and a warm thanks. Wish I had taken pictures.
