Kroeschell versus Cast 



I have one of your new 1910 model Kroeschell Boilers, and same ha» proven very satisfactory. 



We have no trouble to keep temperatures In the coldest weather. We fire once or twice during: 

 the day. and once at nlgrht, and have had the best satisfaction I have ever experienced in a boiler. 



Formerly I had two cast iron boilers; one cracked and I took both of these boilers out. 



My coal bill with the cast iron boilers ran from tl96 to $207 per season during the past seven years. 

 This year, with your boiler and soft coal, my coal bill was only $108 und I still have some coal left. 



Your boi ler 1 s the best and cheapest on the market, not alone for the price, but also in fuel saving. 



I am very glad that you are so well known in Buffalo, N. Y, I have never heard anything but 

 praise. In which I Join heartily. Wishing you every success, I remain, MAX HUEHLER. Forks, N.Y

opinion regarding the efficiency of the 

 heating system. Unless the piping is 

 run downhill, as just recommended, the 

 plan of connecting the expansion tank 

 to. one of the returns near the heater 

 would answer the purpose desired. 



HEAT FBOM HOT AIB FLUES. 



I have a greenhouse almost com- 

 pleted, 21x40. It is ten feet six inches 

 high at the ridge and five feet high at 

 the eaves, with twenty inches of glass 

 in the sides. The walls are made of 

 1-inch boards and the cracks are 

 covered with strips four inches wide 

 and one inch thick. I can not get 

 my boiler before next fall and I am 

 planning to try to heat this house with 

 a furnace, running two flues from it, 

 one under each side bench, which will 

 be three feet wide and thirty inches 

 high. The center bed will be a solid 

 ground bed. In building the flues I 

 will use brick for the first fifteen feet 

 from the furnace, and then 8-inch tile. 

 When I get to the rear end of the 

 house, should I run a stack up from 

 each flue separately or run both of 

 them into one stack? 



I will use coal for fuel and will want 

 a night temperature of 45 to 50 degrees 

 when the outside temperature is 10 

 degrees below zero. I will use the 

 raised beds at the sides for pot plants 

 and vegetable plants, while the center 

 bed will be used for growing lettuce. 

 I am located in eastern Ohio. 



G. C. H. 



While the results would be more 

 satisfactory if hot water or steam 

 could be used from the start, fairly good 

 results can be obtained by means of 

 a flue built as proposed. Care must 

 be taken, however, to have the joints 

 perfectly tight, so that no coal gas can 

 escape. If the wind could always be 

 depended upon to blow in the same 

 direction as the flues run, they could 

 be joined to one stack, but it will be 

 safer, at any rate, if a separate stack is 

 built for each flue.
