I wanted an alternative to coal firing my boiler for occasions when the smoke and smell of burning coal would cause problems.
Having recently seen a video on YouTube of someone building a vertical boiler fired with 'Marty Burners' - I decided to have a go.


Here is a video of my burners

And here's a link to the YouTube videos that inspired me,

Hi Andy - Would you mind e-mailing me a copy of the plans for this boiler? It looks to be exactly what i need and looks an excellent design....I have sent you a PM.

I would be interested to here where you bought your copper from too...i cannot find a single supplier over here in Canada, but i will be in the UK in August and could pick some up then i guess.

Thanks
Matt

Hello Matt, I haven't received a personal message from you so I'll try sending one to you. I can't send you copies of the plans, they are on a few sheets that are far too large for any scanners I've seen. I think I gave details of the origin of the plans from Reeves at the start of my article about building the boiler. Obtaining the six inch copper tube was difficult, we phoned all over England trying to track some down so place your order in advance of your visit to the UK.

For me virtually all the copper was supplied in one lot and certified as C106 by,
Edwards Metals,
37 Birch Road East,
Wyrley Rd,
Witton,
Birmingham,
B6 7DA,
http://www.edwardsmetals.co.uk/contact.php

An alternative supplier in Birmingham is,
John Keatley
33-35 Shadwell Street,
Birmingham
B4 6HD,
http://www.johnkeatleymetals.com/contact-us/
Keatleys have six inch 10 guage copper tube listed in their 'products list'.

Regards Andy
