Heating with coal is economical and the available indoor hopper eliminates coal freezing troubles.  Using coal also minimizes the need for expensive fuels such as natural gas, oil and propane.  The ML30 boiler is super efficient and can be used for heating new building(s) or be integrated into existing heating systems.  Moreover, the water furnace does not require daily feeding as other outdoor furnaces.   The stoker model has user determined metering controls for fuel.  The user decides and sets how much fuel goes into the stove according to the heat desired / required.

The ML30 outdoor water furnace has many features, listed below, that are signature to Portage and Main furnaces.
