I have had problems with the water in the tender getting very cold very quickly. In winter I can't run anyway because I've yet to find a G-1 snow plough that can cope with up to 6 feet of snow. But here in the Alps at just over 1000 meters I have had bad weather in August that can match any winter in Cornwall, (except 1962 when I drove a motor cycle across the frozen Exe at Topsham on the mud). I find the Idea is certainly of value and worth considering for a cool winter evening in CA. for example. The nice thing about this site is you can throw somthing in and usually get more out than you threw in.
