Good enough for a 1-ton commercial truck; hell, it's just a 6-ton pintle with a 2 5/16" ball. What's the worst that could happen?

I found this at a surplus store years ago, and I had to have it! It's SOOOOOOO much better than a Coleman, and it can burn just about anything. That 2-foot-long 2"-diameter pipe running up the middle is the MONSTER vapor generator, so it could...

Those light bluish-gray stripes are flame fronts at a low setting. The large generator over the burner makes this a VERY efficient & clean-burning device. The yellow flames are from the overly-rich mixture coming into the burner from the center of ...

This is at a slightly higher setting. The flames are almost invisible because they're so efficient. Very little energy is lost as light - it's all turning to heat. And there's no smoke, and almost no smell, despite the fact that I'm burning rancid...

It doesn't look very different because it's so efficient, but it's really putting out some heat. This is with the flame valve WIDE open & the air valve adjusted to match. It sounds like a jet engine - my friends nicknamed it "The Afterburner&q...

Using a Dremel-type tool, I carved a small notch into the side of the cover. Even if I removed the CIS, this would have no effect, and barely be noticeable.

It took some tweaking to get them to sit flat without pinching the tubes, but they're clear of the sliding carriage, and they hold the tubes securely so they curl just like the electronic band at the back.

The only problem is that, as they UNcurl ...

It's almost invisible. Compare this to the first photo. The cover doesn't sit all the way down because there's no space between it & the top surface at the back where the tubes go out, but it's not a problem.

The tubes are long enough (with some to spare) to place the tanks on the left behind the white speaker on the left for the system below the printer. The monitor & black speaker on the R are for another system, which sometimes borrows the printer.

They used a CNC mill to cut the slabs, and the tighness of the joint showed the precision.

Since I had emptied the cabinets & removed the drawers before they arrived, this is how they left it. But they didn't reconnect the plumbing, or even sweep. The sink cabinet is full of sawdust.
