All you need to do is run a pipe or hose from the exhaust of the 25 to the chimney, I assume that the standard chimney would do although I would want to wipe everything dry after each use. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it

The reason Mark used a separate chimney was probably because the standard one both vibrates off and to avoid rusting out the firebox. An even easier approach would be to make one out of a piece of brass tubing. Put a cap on the bottom but make it removable and you could keep it close to the exhaust. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it

Clinton, I would not recommend using the Jensen chimney sitting in place over the chimney base as your "chuffer" attachment...reason being that you are using the electrified version of the Jensen 25 and under that chimney stub are your electrical connections...not good for them to get wet.
As John pointed out, you could simply take a piece of brass pipe and solder a flat piece of brass to it for a base to stand on. Just make sure the flat piece is large enough to keep the pipe standing up and not tipping over. Drill/solder a small piece of brass pipe in it's side maybe 2 inches up from the bottom.....attach a piece of rubber hose from your Jensen exhaust to the small piece of brass pipe and voila...you have an external chuffer that when it gets water in the bottom can be simply dumped out.
cheers,

I have been making thing like that for all my engines. I hate the sloppy mess. Look up the post for the mod I made on the 76 I have. Maybe that is what you have in mind? Otherwise, I can make a condensor with a sludge tank pretty easy. Even make it pretty!
