Some of you may be able to see it, many not.

There is a hidden “steam plant” in this steam plant!

Don’t temp me.  Teehee. I’m considering a steam injector instead of a hand water feed pump.

This is really my experimental plant. 🌱

There's a shiteload of room left there to fit one in

I still am planning to put a gas tank and permanent burner on this. Lol!

There is always a second story to be considered, or maybe putting a basement underneath for essentials.

Might as well post my most recent update to the plant. Prior, I was using a rubber hose connection from the exhaust to the chuff pot nipple.   

Found a way to get the height perfect and then measured what it would take to get a PMR pipe 3/16 to hold the “chuff device” in place and still function normally, after cutting it to length using a dremmel.

The chuff pot isn’t changed in anyway, just accommodates a 3/16 exhaust pipe this way without any changes.

All it simply is is the exhaust pipe is in place of the screw nipple that holds the chuffer up.   Shoved some teflon tape in between the groove of the pipe and diameter of the hole as it isn’t true.

Works flawlessly, looks better! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
