| Portland, 2005 - Jim was very taken with a hot tube Briggs and Stratton in the oilfield engines area. He studied it closely, and under two weeks after we arrived home, this was the result! |
| Hot tube, made from a spark plug and thick wall stainless steel tube | Hot tube chimney, made from scraps of stainless tube and flat sheet | Hot tube components | Modified gas torch for flame |
| Gas to hot tube and valve to carburettor | Running! The exhaust is designed so that in the future, she'll blow smoke rings constantly | Blowing smoke rings! This is the pull start side |
Propane-powered, hot tube Suffolk Colt lawn mower engine |
