Chuff Pot
« on: February 05, 2024, 11:56:02 am »
I am looking for a Chuff pot that will suffice with a Jensen engine.    Does anyone have any for sale?   If you have one, if you could provide a photo of it!  You can DM me or post here.



Thanks

So many different and often unexpected things have been improvised into adequately functional Chuff Pots, that it fairly boggles the mind. However, true dedicated Chuff Pots are definitely a worthy goal to seek for the enhancement of operations.

A fully functional and at least minimally aesthetically pleasing Chuff Pot is not too serious of a project to undertake and can be done without too much in the way of tooling or skillsets. However, some of the nicest ones I have seen have been repurposed from Thift Store brass vases, mini-teapots and oil lamps, so that may be something to consider looking into as well.

If you are really lucky, perhaps someone will want to part with an Oz Steam Demon Chuff Pot, several variations of which some of us are fortunate enough to have. But certainly, I would advise against holding your breath while waiting for any of these prized Chuff Pots to become available, as I know of no one who is at all interested in parting with one!
