Sweet, electric is nice and adjustable. Good grab Nick.

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
you of all people should know it doesn't, only when we die , or run out of funds (temporarily)



Funds? What are those?? 😂



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

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



I'll race you to Ebay!

I’ve already been there 😂

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.

It’s already been steamed, video on the way  ;)

Maybe I’ll let one of the kids take a turn tomorrow  :D
