Re: What's needed for my first steaming
Some paraffin, charcoal, bit of wood and some steam oil (I'd go for Morris Universal) possibly a small amount of coal but wood should be fine to get you going.
You'll likely need a blower on a 2" but a decent extension might be enough with wood.
Avoid over filling the fire box and watch out for the grate getting clogged up and starving it of air.
Your not a million miles away from me so if you want any small coal I've got bucket loads of small stuff here.

You can use anything really, but plastic, if its metal watch out if its cold as it will be like having a plug in the chimney
With a bit of ingenuity you can use something like a small computer fan to knock up a electric blower, if its being used directly on top of the chimney keep an eye on heat levels at it wont last very long once the fire takes up, but can he useful to get things going, or use a inverted Y piece to avoid direct exhaust going through the fan, if that makes sense.
