Misfit
I had the good fortune of meeting a steamer at boat meeting in Hamilton Ontario who gave me his first boiler he had ever made minus fittings, I purchased fittings from PM Research ie.
safety valve, water glasss and pressure gauge. The boiler has 13 tubes like the PM boiler ,my Krick burner was not up to the task but after much thought I tried using esbit fuel 4-5 tablets, it raised 30 psi pressure for about 15-20 min. on the test table. When attemptig to put it in the boat I had to raise the boiler a couple of inches. I thought I could get a 3" copper coupling but at $39.00 it was out of the question. After consuming a tin of peaches I cut the tin to the size I needed the tray for the esbit fuel was another tin of snack size pinapple inverted over a different tin that was placed over the original bolt that held the Krick burner. I am now awaiting spring thaw to test it on the lake. Woody
