Born out of a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation, Cold Finger Steamers is the creation of
Glen Schaefer, a fourth-generation Alberta farmer and fabricator. With deep roots in the land and a lifelong passion for building, Glen has carried forward the family’s tradition of hard work and ingenuity into a new era of modern fabrication and mechanical excellence.
At Cold Finger Steamers, Glen specializes in:
Each project reflects Glen’s commitment to quality, reliability, and craftsmanship — values forged over 125 years of Schaefer family heritage in Central Alberta. Whether he’s restoring equipment, fabricating new parts, or designing innovative steamers, Glen takes pride in creating solutions that keep farms and machinery running strong.
With every weld, every design, and every finished product, Cold Finger Steamers continues the proud Alberta tradition of skill, integrity, and innovation — built by hand, built to last.

The Cold Finger Steamer is a shop-built stainless steel system designed and handcrafted by Glen Schaefer for rugged farm and northern conditions. Available in 1, 2, and 4-gallon models, these steamers make stock water thawing simple, safe, and efficient. Each unit features a ½-inch outlet and 15 ft. of Red Devil steam hose, with a large 2-inch filler cap that allows you to use ice chunks or snow — no need to haul extra water. Designed to work with a tiger torch, these steamers require no electricity, making them ideal for remote or off-grid use.
The steam water condenser assists with drying the steam and improving hot water retention, ensuring consistent performance. One gallon of water produces approximately 20 minutes of continuous steam.
The entire 1- and 2-gallon setup fits perfectly into a small calf sled, making it easy to transport anywhere on the farm or job site. These steamers make thawing frozen waterers and septic lines the best winter job!
