 Hey, at least they have a filter just before the oil burner and a shutoff. A stop valve but still a shutoff.
 
 So John, did you feel a little like Kirk Douglass in 20K Leagues Under the Sea?
 
 What a wimp! What's a little asbestosis between friends?

 I haven't seen a coal / oil conversion in over 10 years. You know there is no fan on those, they are convection.
 
 I cost them at least twice in fuel what it would have cost to change it out.
 
 Nice find!

 Now it's going to drive me nuts thinking about what happened to the pic.
