I’m know what you mean about running in the basement. I bought a center flue boiler and you can’t get a clean burn in those tubes. I never had a problem with carbon monoxide with any of the open burners in a firebox.

Dinner with Champagne at its best
Did you fired up the Hammermaschine?
Congrats, Arnold :D

Have not steamed the machine yet, Arnold. I am frightened of the huge alcohol burner. I can't run it outside, only in my basement and I don't want to risk a fire.

That’s really nice! I would love to see some pictures of the setup. I’m wondering how the generator is hooked up. They look to be at 90 degrees apart.

John, Her is a photo of the dynamo drive setup.
