Using a novel extension of the microcanonical Monte Carlo algorithm, we have simulated the behavior of a two-dimensional nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Ising model in the presence of a temperature gradient. The technique consists of setting the temperatures of boundary spins, while allowing "demons" associated with the other sites to control heat transfer. We demonstrate that our system is in local thermodynamic equilibrium, and compute the thermal conductivity as a function of temperature
