Toytown /Harboro flyer -- TWO BURNERS needed, not one.
« on: December 12, 2020, 09:57:10 am »
Harboro flyer came without a burner so I borrowed one and made a copy. Quite happy.

Original instructions were recently posted on the web so obtained a copy and then read about how to use the TWO burners.

Apparently this was how they were originally.

So number two has emerged from the workshop today.

Good news --  the other one will have a wick fitted in the morning.

Very nice, some of these were produced in my home county.
My example doesn't have a burner, from what i understand they can be quite hazardous to use (at least the original ones are).

I would dare say yours are probably better than the originals, well done !
