    Hi; Although I posted this as it shows a furnace of my design in action (one not built by me), it isn’t me using it. Chris does say in his email to me (which this video clip was attached to) that ths he realises the health and safety aspects of this are not too good and will be recified, however he just had to give it a go! I must confess that I am often carried away with the “moment” and sometimes do similar things!! Thank you for your concern though. Colin
