Yes. All you really have to do is put the sight glasses and steam package on. It also depends on if it is going to be big enough for you.

I heated my 3700 square foot house very easily during one of the coldest winters on record with a restored Van Wert 400. It really just sipped the coal. Very efficient. And quiet too!
