Wood fired steam boiler?

[Prairiepiss]

Living off grid. Or at least trying to. Presents a few problems along the way. One being the lack of any amount of access electricity to use for hobbies like this one.

My idea. Build a wood fired steam boiler for direct steam injection. The steam will be used for cooking and mashing grains. Distilling alcohol and essential oils.

The equipment. I will be using an old style stainless keg for the boiler. It has a sankey valve on top. I will come off it with a 2" triclamp T. The side port will be plumbed to the still boiler/mash tun. The other port coming out the top will have a valve and a large jacketed or shotgun condenser. Basically when the valve is closed all steam goes to the still boiler/mash tun. With it open the steam will be recondensed and drop back into the boiler. There would be no restrictions and the steam path would never be blocked. With the valve open. It would be open to atmosphere through the condenser with it closed it would have a path through the still boiler/mash tun.
For the heat I plan to use a simi brake drum. Flipped big side down. With the axle hole pointing up. Make a door on the side to feed the fire. And a damper to control the flame. We started doing this for Dutch oven cooking. The drum being cast iron holds heat really well. The axle hole makes a good burner area. Tack a few little plates on it for stand offs. And sit the steam boiler keg on top.
I might possibly weld two droms together and make like a pot belly stove? But that may end up being to tall. I will have to play with it and see.

I have the keg 6 of the drums and some of the bits and bobs to build it. I don't have any pics at this time. I will try and get some with the stuff mocked up. So you can get a better understanding of my thoughts. It will help me also.

The only thing I have to work out is the condenser. How I will supply it with water. Without electricity. I may have to go a different route with it. Maybe feed that side into another tank full of cold or cool water. I don't want it to be too overly complicated. If I have to I will just bent the access steam into a safe place. Like an open air protected box or something. I would be wasting water if I did this though. That's another thing we have a shortage of. Good water. Well it's available. Just not easy to get and use to just waste. I have access to no less then 20 springs and a good well. But I have to haul that water to the homestead. And I only have approx 500 gal of storage space at the homestead.

Thoughts ideas are welcome and or wanted?????
