Default Steam box

Hello,

I'm in need of a new steam box. Any ingenious ideas out there? I was
thinking of having two tanks. A small 1 gallon tank to make steam and a 5
gallon tank to feed it. Or how about coiled tubing for the steam part?
Mainly I want steam pretty quickly, a way to fill the water tank without
losing steam, and an easy way to tell if the water tank needs filling.

I've
used one that had a clear hose to tell show what the water level was, but
the hose kept getting dirty.

Thanks in advance,

Eide


I have a 14ft by 2ft by 1ft wooden steambox.
Recently steaming almost 2in thick ,7in wide, planks using a cheap wallpaper
stripper!
Untill i saw it done i would noy have belived it would be capable of
sufficient steam.
Its brilliant!
My giant kettle (made from a 60L steel bottle) and my huge propane burner
are now redundant.
