Nice collection and video. Too bad about the heat damage, kind of saw that one coming.
I use a similar set up but it has a bowl for water above the candle. Think it was for
potpourri.

Beautiful collection, beautiful video. Too bad about the one Stirling. I always put mine on a cup of hot water (or coffee).
Cheers

I kind of knew I was going to cook the LTD engine.  Doesn't bother me, and I will have it repaired before the end of today.  Thanks for all the comments, Fellas, much appreciated.
