First pic is my fav Charlie, that's sure one helluva sunrise!

16.7C....that's my type of temp!

Though we are doing ok here today, its only 26.5°C humidity only 48% (and we had 2" of rain last night) and the sea temp is a wonderful 22°C which makes for some nice swims!

Jim, I only got a quick glance at the burner, but I think you might need to adjust where your jet is, looks to be glowing red.

Have you got little blue cones above the ceramic? I’ll be honest, I don’t know a lot about them  :D

Little blue cones is what to aim for, on a boiler that big with a small BIX I like the ceramic to glow. The brass jet area stays relatively cool to the touch.

Very nice antique Doll

Thanks for the video, Arnold
