Here is a copy of my former post. JimN Re: OT Wood or Coal Stock Tank Deicers in reply to Dachshund, 12-23-2008 18:04:51
Ours was coal fired. It had a box about 15 inches square, and 18 inchs deep that was the fire box. It had a removable for cleaning, grate about 3" off the bottom, made from iron rods about 5/8 diameter, spaced abput 3/4" apart. A 3" diameter inlet pipe was J shaped and about 10 inches taller than the top of the box. The "chimney" was 6" and ran for about 3 feet under water to heat additional water with flue heat before turning up to the vertical, and stood 5 or 6' above the box, and was on the opposite side from the intake. All these were iron/steel and sealed to prevent water from getting in. The lid was hinged to allow loading and tending, but was overhanging to limit cattle from splashing water into the joint. A damper was set into the exhaust pipe to regulate draft. I would put it into both intake and exhaust to regulate combustion more easily. Both had cone shaped "hats to keep out rain. It was set into the tank with about 2 inches of wall above waterline. This is a memory from more than50 years, so take it for that!! JimN

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
