Summer's back, and with a vengeance at 30 degrees Celsius, and
here's the Serious Boiler in operation at last.
I know, I know, the video is awful (read the YouTube video
[attachimg=1]description), but at least the boiler works fine.
(HTM) https://youtu.be/IhetX_ufktI
The burner, on the other hand needs re-thinking, as, aside from
being cobbled together just to get the boiler going, it's a bit
too small for the job and keeps going out if I insert it into
the flue.
In fact, pretty well everything was cobbled together just so I
could make the miserable video. I didn't even connect the hand
feed pump, as I didn't intend to run it all for very long.
I have yet to work out a permanent mounting and piping
arrangement so that I can use the boiler as a steam source for
different engines.
It was worth all the work, though, at least to me.

Nice to see you putting that boiler to work...!!!
And... as I may have said before, it looks fantastic. Engine
looks great, too!

That "work" thing is interesting.
As I was running the engine, the farmer who rents my pasture
came along, looked at it, and said, "But what are you going to
do with it?"
My reply: "I AM doing it!"
The farmer was not impressed....

Thanks, all. Once I determine how to make this an adaptable
power supply, I'll let you all know.

It's a serious boiler. It would be nice to see it powering a
big Stuart No. 1.
