The stove is just sat on a chipboard wardrobe door, thought about the priming plate, might have a go with that next. The video seems to have gotten grainy as it was converted from mp4 to avi for some reason. Will dig about in my bits box for some glass fibre, I have some from a body repair kit somewhere.
Thanks for the input Paul, this stove really needs advice to get it to work acceptably lol.
