i was looking at a boiler job this morning in a 1940’s apartment building in Arlington, VA

this was sitting in the corner of the basement.  I love old stuff like this.

    Is there a gas valve and piping and air tubes and such that are missing from the front of that?

    Hi @Dan Foley , Way back when, they used to make a trash burner that also was a water heater. Was a two-for-one. Anyway, nice find! :p

    Yours, Larry

    Some incinerators were gas fired, some just used combustion air to burn like burning in a barrel
