Matthew DiRenzo Coal Stoker Services aka Stoker Man

Had to play America Picker today in Tresckow. The only hope to save this stoker was that his father might have collected some stoker parts decades ago. It’s a flanged cast iron pipe about 18 inches long I told his son. Look everywhere in this basement or we are out of luck! About two hours later he comes into the stoker room holding what I said is about a $8000 dollar pipe!!! Without it you’re forced to install a new furnace! Couple hour later... back up and running...and keeping our heritage burning!!!

My north of the mountain hangout!! He has never let me down for parts!!

Keep our heritage burning in Emmaus today. The homeowner did an awesome job restoring an old Van Wert stoker that has been shut down for over 10 years. He asked if I would drive down and help him start it up. The coal bin holds about 25 ton! The stoker puts out about 500,000 BTU. Very few of these in operation today. Check out the automatic ash removal system back to the garbage cans. Yes this is in someone’s home!!!!

Keeping our heritage burning in Minersville today. Efm 520 burner pot completely melted???? Can’t answer how it got to this point ....but I can fix it!! Up and running/ heating just fine!!

Milk Bread .....4 tons of buckwheat . Everyone ready for the snow and cold this weekend!!
