Vapalux M1 still kicking

All good once it got going, but it needed a longer pre-heat than I gave it. My bad. Silly smoke detector nearly gave me away! No matter, I'll clean the globe and hood, and no one will be any the wiser

 

Great, Al.

Good to see you back.

Cheers

Tony

 

It's working very well!

 

I love my M1 & 21C but there are no doubts in my mind that the combination of 'smaller dish tray' (volume) and that its 'fixed' position is a little further away than say a M320 with its 'propped' spirit cup, do on occasion make it a little more difficult to light. Well perhaps 'difficult' is a little harsh but you certainly have to wait till the spirit has all but gone before attempting to light.

 

Looks good Al, congratulations

 

Looking good mate, well done.
Cheers
Pete

 

Looks really bright there, Al !

Might there be room to fit a preheat wick from a bowl fire? Should be able to get more fuel to it that way if it'll go? Unless it spoils the 'look' ?

Just a thought,

Regards,

Tim

 

Important is it ended with a bright light.
Just for interest, which year of production is marked?
