Well, after being up about 40 hours and driving 800 miles for 12 of the last 16 hours and surprisingly not having a heart attack after consuming a little Red Bull, I am ready for bed 😂 I love the hunt and meeting great people in this hobby with lots of stories! Okay, I know the Doll has the wrong chimney, but I can live with that 😉

nice haul Nick, can't wait to see more of them (a little red Bull ?)...lol
Well done Nick, is that the Bing 130/383 Poppet Valve that I see there; I have one in the mail somewhere………….. They are another 🦄

Only a little over half a gallon 😂
Quite the stress test but it paid off.
And another unicorn in that haul perhaps ..... do I see an original Jensen Proto-70 banjo type alcohol burner there in the box?!?!
There are a whole lot of those machines without burners in this world!

I believe that is the largest? This is the second largest, but I won’t complain about that either 😉

And we have a winner!! Was wondering if anyone would spot that, I almost left without digging through that box of burners.

I would definitely recommend "not" actually firing that burner without it being on a cookie sheet in the middle of a parking lot with a powder fire extinguisher close at hand...lol, I've had 2 and neither one was safe after the 1st minute.
Wow, Nick.... what a great haul...!!!
and Congrats for surviving 1/2 gallon of Red Bull, LOL

I have fired one and the first time it made a hell of a bang 😂
I've fired mine, I have one burner for three machines, and did have a rather "blazing" experience the first time. So I modified the burner in a manner that can be undone, thus originality is preserved. All I did was make a "tube" of fine brass mesh screen to cover the wick opening on the poker, but also packed the poker with a very tight wick to help slow down the wicking action a bit.
Oh yeah, and I also used some K&S brass tubing to be able to make the flame slot in the poker smaller.
The real key, as with most alcohol burners, is to not overfill it!!!
