Wowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing is ing awesome! I have to say a really big 'thank you' to the boys at Tackle 247... packaging was fantastic and delivery was less than 24 hours; thank you Phil and Adam!

Out of the box, the engineering quality is very good indeed... and I am a very fussy engineer!

I spent time examining the lamp and then carefully fitting the upgraded nozzle (stainless instead of clay) and the double-ended mantle adapter. The latter two items are a bit of a fiddle, but well worth the effort!

Mantle on (easy job) I lit the pre-heater... whoosh!!!! I let the new mantle burn off and then re-lit the pre-heater (sounds like a jet fighter on re-heat) and after 90 seconds on went the supply to the mantle... hissssssss!

Next job... on with the sunglasses

This thing is BRIGHT... I say again: B R I G H T ! ! !

Not only that but it REALLY looks the part. I cannot wait to fire her up again tonight and wake the neighbours (and the birds!) up with the sunrise effect this beauty has

Anyhoooo... if you good folk are interested I'll take some photos over the weekend and post them... if the camera can take that kind of treatment!

Move over Sun... another star has entered our solar system

True

That said though... one look at this beauty and you might be thinking 'I want that toy' but you'd be telling the OH that it is 'essential equipment which would significantly enrichen our camping experience'

Sounds brilliant - can't wait to see some action pics.
Can't believe castor oil is so hard to get now - how bizarre. I'm sure it does keep you regular but then so does prune juice. Hey maybe you could use that instead?
Get some photos up - I will get some vapalux ones up one of these days, someone can post some tilly ones and then this can truly be a geek thread

Will do - was going to take some pics the other night and it's been pouring with rain since... typical!

As soon as I get a clear night I'll take some and post them up.
