You will now need a toasty iron. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Priscilla II 358 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 If you can get your hands on some Jet A1 aviation fuel it’s way cheaper and burns a whole bunch hotter. Better add one of these too…. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is a damn good unit, suggest you treasure it I have the slightly less solid 7 Seas product which is jetted for Alcohol, I purchased it 2nd hand 30 years ago and its still going strong. I prefer the kero as it has a higher specific heat but my wife does not like the smell, says it makes her sea sick, doesn't bother me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 131 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Nice ! I wonder if its available in 20 litre containers ? To an earlier comment yes Jet A1 is great stuff but it has an unpleasant odour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To an earlier comment yes Jet A1 is great stuff but it has an unpleasant odour. I'm experimenting at m with an unleaded petrol/diesel mix to replace kerosene. It works out about 1/3 the cost of kero, I just have to be sure it burns cleanly and odour-free. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LBD 92 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Could have been 150mm shorter but at least it is fitted now, rigging up the lines next. Plan is to add a grate at top and a boarding ladder in the near future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
