Trapped smokepipe !

[dna]

Found this gem with a Winkler low pressure oil burner and trapped smokepipe. I thought the smokepipe fell down in the dimly lit basement, then I broke out the droplight. Still haven't figured it out. Whatcha all think??

Not that its right by any means but looks like its been running like that for years. That just scary!

Yeah, it's been like that for a very long time, probably decades.

Those low pressure dudes are tough old birds!!!

Just a thought....The barometric damper had to be at a level below the top of the boiler?

OR, too much beer, no installation manual.

It's weird, i tell ya. It would have run like this for a very long time. I don't understand how flue products are supposed to go downhill. Maybe it's a low pressure thing?!??

I thought the cellar looked kinda familiar with the rock foundation.

Then I saw the location, Lancaster, my home town.

The barometric damper is the kicker!

Pure awesome.

OOPs, that work is older than me. It's just that the cellar looked like the old homestead's one.
