glad it arrived safely Nick , I meant to tell you that turning the voltage reducer all the way counter clockwise is off , clockwise increases voltage , makes its power approx 3/4 to full on.

Electric is nice for winter running, but now that I have one of these, I want an early style flame fired. When does it end???  :D

I like the old style red valve handles on metal valves. Both of mine have black plastic ones.

Funds? What are those?? 😂

Agreed, one of Wilesco’s biggest faults... They are very loose when cold, but tighten up and work fairly decent when warm

I’ve already been there 😂
