Trent et al, Whoops, wrong scale but I attempted to fire an OS Porter- 3-1/2" gauge with wood stove pellets. I couldn't find harwood so had to use softwood--bad!! I'd get pressure up for a short while but the loco and I could not be seen--lovely smoke screen, spectacular! Caught my hat afire with sparks too. I kerosene fired it too, but not very sucessfully. Never did like propane- and coal was the natural way to go.
I enjoyed all Kevin's info on stainless steel for our "right' scale locos.-I've got to get into that more. Geoff. > Now you REALLY have my attention.
