About: Wootten firebox

An Entity of Type: WikicatSteamLocomotiveFireboxes, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Wootten firebox is a type of firebox used on steam locomotives. The firebox was very wide to allow combustion of anthracite waste, known as "culm". Its size necessitated unusual placement of the crew, examples being camelback locomotives. The Wootten firebox made for a free-steaming, powerful locomotive, and the cheap fuel burned almost smokelessly; the combination made for an excellent passenger locomotive, and many camelbacks operated in this service.
