Bruce, this is beautiful. Great display of talent and creativity! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I especially like the way you siamesed the two steam pipes to a single point, with the gauge mounted on top. Way cool!

I'm assuming you finished the firebox with the VHT burnt orange paint? It looks great, and is something I'm considering for a future project.

A couple of questions about the heater cartridge setup: How close were you able to fit the heater cartridge to the brass insert? Do you use any kind of heat-transfer compound when installing?

Congratulations on a really fine job!
