Thanks Nick.

Will it have enough pulling power to pull one of the kids or you?

Only thing left is to light a fire!

What kind of burner does it have?

2 wick alcohol. I will get some underside pictures, but if you look near the bottom of the firebox you can see a brass knob on the end of a rod going through a spring. The builder added this to push in and snuff out the fire. I will likely change it over to gas for easier running at shows.
