Matt, That Looks very Nice!! With all those engines you have ....you would fit right in up here at our annual power pioneer days!! I think you'd steal the whole show with the talent you have.
That is really nice! Is that a walkout basement, looks very light.
No it's not a walkout ,but I wish it was. window side of basement has the southern exposer so there's always plenty of light. Fireplace works nice! set it up so it can always be on , or it can operate off of the wall mounted thermostat I installed. one of those big projects thats been close to being finished for a long time. What I like is it can heat the basement to an easy 80F degrees when its -25F outside. Now I just gotta get things down there done!!!
Wasn't sure where to put this post...and it wasn't my idea to invent the fireplace...but it was my idea to build one in my basement. I started building this gas fireplace a few years ago and I've done everything myself so far Including building the room its in. so here are some older pics I found of it somewhat close to being finished. I will show the finished product sometime in the near future when its done.
There's a lot of energy stored in superheated water,or just any hot water. I work in a place that has steam presssures up to 1800psi and higher. Its that energy that does the work to keep your lights on at home.
Sounds like a good Idea Karl. Are power outages happening more often for you guys out east? Are you going to hard wire this in to the electical load center of your residence? Just curious.
. I might try making one of those......

I just noticed that it appears to have a Tecumseh recoil mounted on it....
