Thanks all for the info. <br />I guess the theory is similar to that of the capacitor in electronics. There is a steam museum near Cornwall Ct. That may have one I will have to check. Some people believe that steam as used in industry is obsolete. Nothing could be farther from the truth. New and sophisticated instrumentation is being developed and produced all the time for the steam handling industry. The fireless cooker was new to me but thanks to all of you it isn't now. As far as my cooker is concerned , it is a double wall metal box. insulated and containing two metal cylinders. The top is hinged and fits snugly over the cylinders. Each cylinder can contain, in special hangers, round soapstones that fit tightly and are usually placed at the top and bottom of pans that also fit the cylinders. Some are even broken down into pie slice shaped pans for different dishes etc. You heat the soap stones to a predetermined temp measured by a surface thermometer according to the recipe. They cook unattended. I gave one to my wife last year along with a new wash board and tub. <br />I am getting back into the hobby. I have alot of pre war O both American Flyer and Lionel. I inherited quite a few Model Railroader Mags. along with Model Railroader, The Quiz book from the Association of American Railroads etc. All from the 40's and 50's. I also have N and HO. Looking forward to it. I was much too Long but again thamks for the info. This is really a class Forum.
