As mentioned above, minor problems with the smaller one... I filled them both and lit the burners... Was playing with the weighted valve on the big one and “POP!” followed by “TING!” from the smaller one. The cork shot straight up into the ductwork above the table. Wish I would have been filming to show that the corks can do their job
The smaller one had a screw in the hole for it’s weighted SV from the previous owner. I assumed the steam would travel around the coarse threads and into the line. What I didn’t think of is that the screw would have rusted and plugged the line... oops... [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
I knew this weird angled pick would come in handy someday
Loosened up the rust, raised steam, held the cylinder away from the block and blew out any rust that I had poked into the line

Heat shield got a little too hot using the long BIX burner but at least it did it’s job and saved the paint on the Buckman. Zero paint damage, but my cork sauna mat will need some repair 😂 [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
