    I have seen a few of them one guy rolls in his product in a trash can with wheels .He has a big smile on his face . It's pride that your load is worthy .It's a nice feeling yanking out 4 - 300 lb ( average weight cause ends are heaver ) sections of a steam burner that there is no gray area - it's short steel & i am the lucky one to have it. When it's out of your truck you also know that getting more is up to the source .
    I have 2 heating specialist that can supply me .Yesterdays heating specialist had great technique vacuums out as much soot as possible carefully cuts bolts . As he separates the sections he has me spraying water on area's to keep dust down .
    The other specialist is a bit more aggressive ,dust a flying
