The S260 Coal Gun outdoor coal boiler is ideal for people searching to cut high heating bills! Outdoor coal guns are efficient and will last for decades. They usually pay for themselves in around 3-5 years.
This is the most hands-free coal stoker boiler on the market. The massive hopper holds almost 3,500 lbs of hard coal, and the completely automatic feed and ash dump system means minimal upkeep.
This can offer you up to 20 days of burn time! Depending on use, the Coal Gun utilizes anthracite coal, which is primarily mined in Pennsylvania. It can supply heat for nearly 7,500 sqft and domestic hot water. The S260 Outdoor Coal Stoker Boiler costs about 70% less than electric and nearly 50% less than traditional oil or gas systems.

Our S260 Outdoor Coal Gun boilers are one of the longest-lasting heating units. Our dedication to high standards results in a long boiler life. Some customers have reported at 30 years and more and years of trouble-free service. This all boils down to two things. Our outdoor coal gun will save you both time and money when it comes to your heating application.
How It Functions
Coal Guns use pea-sized anthracite coal. The coal is loaded into the hopper with a tractor or off the back of your pickup truck. The coal flows into the coal pot where the fire is started. With a draft fan, the air is pulled through the fire allowing the coal to burn completely. The hot exhaust gas enters our special Swirl Chamber heat exchanger. The Swirl Chamber utilizes the fly ash caught in the exhaust to scrub the heat exchanger walls as it swirls the hot exhaust and ash around. This pulls the heat out of the exhaust and keeps the heat exchanger clean all season. The cool exhaust and fly ash enter the internal cyclone, where every coal ash is taken out before leaving the unit. Anthracite coal does not cause creosote or emit any smoke!
The Consumption of Fuel
Factors that can affect the quantity of fuel used include the construction of the building, the weather, and the type of installation. Thanks to its high efficiency, the AHS Coal Gun will greatly lessen your yearly heating costs as it does not use as much fuel as other coal units on the market.

ASME Certification
The ASME Certification guarantees the steel grade and weld quality of the boiler water jacket. Each ASME Certified water jacket has been pressure tested to 60 PSI, and includes a 30 PSI release valve.
Domestic Coil
This Domestic Coil features a 100° F rise at 5 gallons per minute, 50° water inlet temperature and 65 PSI water pressure. It is threaded into a 4 IN NPT threaded fitting provided on the boiler for this purpose.
Low Water Cutoff
A Low Water Cutoff senses the water level in the boiler’s vessel and will shut the unit down if the water level drops to an unsafe level.
