How many of this series do you have now Jim?

Just a hint, but I find fueling them through the vent hole to be way more convenient than screwing the cap off & on.

Just the two in the vid Daniel, but I'm rectifying that inadequacy :)

I should add that if your needle's nose is a bit too big to fit in the vent hole, then you can usually get it to go down alongside the wick, to get the fuel into the burner ...... or, you could drill the vent slightly larger.

Works for me, and beats the heck out of trying to screw the burners lid back on while it is half full of alcohol.

That would be taking all the fun out of having sausage fingers :)

Hmmmm You know there are those jobs when a couple of extra fingers and a thumb can come in mighty handy :)

I think having fingers that actually work the way they are supposed to would be awfully nice!

Then, of course, there is that "third hand" that I so often seem to need to get some specialty job done!!!

...... and by the way, I wasn't intending to "gift" you my fingers and thumbs (you really wouldn't want them, believe me), but rather only wish to "gift you" with all the delicate and awkward jobs that are such a challenge for hands that are dexterity challenged!!!

Now that...
Is a handy hand!

Main problem I see with that hand .... is that it has five thumbs!
