Good Show.

  Please be warned.....do not allow water to seep down
the sides of the boiler.  If you do it will reach the
burner element under the boiler, rot/rust it out, and
then burn it out.  Both my Empire horizontal engines
had ruined/burned heaters, one my fault.  I put sealed
cartridge heaters in place, and now, anxiety-free steaming.

Have fun,
