Home-Built Steamer Thaws Out Frozen Water Pipes FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 22-1-33 I've used this home-built "steamer" to thaw out frozen water pipes for 20 years.
It consists of a tank built from a 2-ft. length of 6 or 8 in. dia. steel pipe. It has two holes in the top. The front one is fitted with a 3 or 4-ft. length of 3/4-in. dia. pipe with rubber hose attached. The tank mounts on four legs with a basket below where I build a wood fire. You simply fill the tank with water and light a fire underneath. As soon as steam comes out the hose, you insert it into the frozen pipe. Quickly thaws them out every time.
