steam powered windmills

Classification: Query
Does anyone from Norfolk know how steam powered windmills worked, and if you could have become a stoker shortly after that? I have an ancestor who's family was solely in agriculture in around windmills, from Huntingdonshire to Cambs and Norfolk and I am wondering why the son could change his profession so quicky.

All hints are welcome ;-)
