247 forum posts 21 photos	I have a copper marine boiler - 10 inches long, 5 inches diameter with 8 water tubes in a 2 1/4 fire hole. This is presently fired with a parafin burner which I would like to fire with some sort of a gas burner to use the boiler as a stationary unit. I have experimented with a propane torch (40 ounce burner) and found this more than sufficient heat wise but it is just too noisey! Is a 'quiet' burner - purchase or make that might fit the bill?
