For all you who've had or read about bad experiences with Burnham/US Boiler steam boilers, the company has responded to your complaints by redesigning their gas-fired steam units. I won't bore you with the technical specs but basically it's a much hardier boiler now with thicker iron and a larger internal cavity which produces a better (quieter, more efficient) quality of steam. It's not cheap but it's worth a look if you're in the market for a new steam boiler. It's called the Steam Max: https://www.usboiler.net/product/steammax-gas-fired-boiler
Here, we installed one with an attached indirect water heater which the US Dept of Energy says "may be the most efficient method of producing hot water in a home".
Yes, the boiler runs all year long in this case but at a much lower temperature and with far greater efficiency than a standard gas-fired water heater. So, don't let that scare you. I get crazy questions about setups like this all the time. It works well.
