With black diamonds at

all the heat energy from
your coal to concentrate
on the job of sending
warmth into living quar
ters.· Boynton Square Pot
boilers are built for free
steaming with little fire.
Only in iatense cold will
the rated capacity be
needed. It's there when
wanted.
The fire comes in di
rect contact with interior
water surfaces. The
unique shape of the fire
pot drops the ash from
the sides freely and this
contact point is as hot as
the center of your fire.
The perfect draft, extra
large fire surface and up
ward trend of water sur
faces keep the steam
pressure high enough to
heat all radiators steadily.
