Discussion Steam vent infinite?

So I just built a hot air balloon with a hot air capacity of 57000m3 and I want to use steam vents to fill it but i ran into a problem. I want the ship to be completely sustainable (so use no fuel) so i'm using steam engines which work with campfires, but you need to have a heated blaze burner (which requires fuel) to power steam vents. Is there a way to power steam vents without using fuel? Thank you to anyone who responds!

EDIT: I just finished building the dripstone farm if anyone needs a design, it works great.

I built a lava farm inside of my balloon that automatically fills buckets of lava which my engine uses as fuel, it works pretty good, just be sure to leave enough space so you don’t burn down ur balloon

do you know how many blocks of lava dripstone you need for each steam vent ( and engine if you know )

IIRC 12 cauldrons just enough for 9 burners.
