And one I've never seen. I received an email yesterday from Lee Hammond, who wrote,



"Dan, I just helped my son moved a desk into a 1920s one car garage in Aurora, IL.  When I was about to leave I noticed this unique heater. Appears to be a gas fired open loop gravity fed water system with a single fan unit heater.  It was sweet."
Retired and loving it.

    Interesting find for sure...

    I'd be cautious about using it, because it is an unvented appliance and is guaranteed to generate significant amounts of deadly CO.



    Wonder how many of them are out and about there...



    Interesting use of fittings to say the least. One pipe thermosiphon...

    Cash in hand.

    I'm thinking of throwing out my radiators and getting a bunch of those things.
