Thanks! The house was built by my FIL about forty five years ago and the hearth takes up a lot of space, but it certainly makes heating with wood nice.

Jcapler, the nut is from an Ingersoll Rand KVG engine. Above are some pistons.![[Hearth.com] Your Hearth, From Where You Sit](https://www.hearth.com/talk/data/attachments/189/189190-8294f87a01e179a1d65863be07299ff4.jpg?hash=RVgueCZ89E "[Hearth.com] Your Hearth, From Where You Sit")

Lol, these are 1,100hp natural gas compressors. 1 of 6. These are our "little" units. Funny that I work and live 15 minutes away from a major gas plant, yet I heat with oil boiler with the insert for supplemental heat. The nut works well as extra heat radiation, and sparks many conversations.

Haha, it's funny that you say that. For fear of hijacking the forum, I promise that this is my last off-topic photo.![[Hearth.com] Your Hearth, From Where You Sit](https://www.hearth.com/talk/data/attachments/189/189248-d5a1f00c900b59a6b4b192b080e73dd4.jpg?hash=gTRX30o_xC "[Hearth.com] Your Hearth, From Where You Sit")

I have read about those before, and let me just say I am SO happy I am an electrician, lol. Make no mistake, I get in there with my two mechs, but no one seems to want to chase me into the 138kv sub station...
