Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

  Nice video, great idea.  The future goes to the bold.

 I always wanted a wood-fired boiler/engine combo but everything I saw
said "Too big and too expensive".  Now, after seeing your video, I may
need to buy this model steamplant.  I loved it the first time I saw it
a few weeks ago and now I may need to buy this steamplant...  And sell
some others.

  So, how are you cleaning the firebox after use?  Forceps or waiting for
all the coals to cool and then a vacuum?  How long did it take to steam
up, and how much water did you put in the boiler to start? 

  Finally, if you ran it on your kitchen stove would the hood serve well
enough to keep the smoke from invading your house?  It didn't look like
it was making much smoke at all.

Congratulations,
Wayne
