That should be as easy

as falling off the proverbial log. But before you do, make sure you install the same type of device the original system uses (trap or inlet orifice) to keep the steam out of the dry return.

If the Baseray's heat output is marginal for the room, consider using a small-tube radiator. These things pack a lot of heat in a small space. Burnham still makes them, and there are loads of used ones around.

A TRV will work nicely in the kitchen also.

I'd be careful with the TRV

on this system, minute amounts of pressure drop can have a big difference on steam distribution. TRV's tend to have much higher pressure drops than standrad valves.
