Well, I'm really looking forward to working with Charlie's
burner of unknown origin. I think it will be perfect for
my 1926 mill engine w/horizontal-flue boiler.
In the meantime, I had a LENK alcohol blowtorch on the way
from EBAY. It needed a bit of teflon tape to seal threads,
and I had to learn to get it to work right. Now I have it
working as I want and will try it soon. I added a photo
and a very dark video (so you can see the flame) of it working
as it should. Turns out, it needs to be pretty hot and you
have to have a light touch on the valve, but it does BURN!
Happy steaming,
Wayne
