A blog about my the history, acquisition and operation of my 1911 Model 62 Stanley Steamer.

The New Superheater

Here is the new superheater in all of it's glory. It has been blacksmithed out of 1/2" schedule 40 stainless steel pipe. The shape is rather odd but it will provide over seven of pipe exposed to the flame. I choose 1/2" pipe because, although it is a tighter fit in the burner pan, it won't pose any line restriction from the throttle to the engine. This should add up to a reasonable performance gain and a lot more reliability over the old 3/8" welded tube unit.
