Popular Mechanics Boiler
vtsteam:
Hi Tom, I don't think I'm going to have a problem with misalignment, but probably best to make it first and talk about it afterward.
Today I didn't have much time to work on the boiler, but I did make a smokestack. I used a piece of fence post brazed to a bit of 1/8" plate that I had turned into a washer to fit. That's for a mounting flange.
vtsteam:
By afternoon I had some paint on it and mounted the chimney. Now thinking about the firebox and door.

VERY flashy :thumbup:
The heat losses on a design like that must be a high proportion of the input power. No real possibility of lagging, and a long response time due to the relatively thick wall of the boiler.
Looks the business though :bow: :bow:
vtsteam:
There's a copper coil under the boiler, and the inside of the firebox will be insulated. Not shooting for high efficiency, though, just playing. :beer:
