No, they don't. The majority of "boilers" merely heat hot water.

That's ONLY because they have an upper heat limiter installed on them
and/or by design won't reach steam level temps, otherwise, they'd be
making steam.

No, that's garbage. I've been inside a steam boiler (got to retube those periodically, you know. Well, probably you don't know.) It's not just a temperature limit switch, it's a different design.

Every hear of a high water safety? Didn't think so.
