• The Fire Bricks were an excellent solution for firing the engine.
  
  You might consider soaking the corks in hot water before using them. I suspect they may be drying out.
  
  The early Weeden burners used corks.

  Thank you Jürgen, amazing that some of these are in the 130-140 year old range!     If I make it to 90 I may see their 200th birthday

• Haha    I finally found it! Was not sure about the legs on this one when it first came up on ebay, but a couple others told me they think they are original as well. Spent nearly a week going back and forth with the seller making offers. Might be one of my smallest Buckmans yet!

  Sometimes it is better to Lose your Cork than Pop your Cork. 🤠
