I was just looking at one of these used and needed to see how it worked. Glad to see another piper had a video on it!

That's awesome! I don't care what anyone says that brass is pure class.

Thank you. We just bought a Japanese made one at an auction for $10 and had no idea what it did. Thank you internet :)

What type of set up is that you have in your fireplace? Is it electric with artificial logs? I’m trying to convert mine over from gas.🤔

Fascinating! I guess wale oil is hard to get but paraffin oil will do. A nice touch for decorating the man cave 🐳 ⚓️😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍😉

Interesting! Are you going to the NAPC show in Ohio? I love antiques. That was cool (hot) lol

I just picked one up do you think I could use old motor oil for my garage wood stove

I use the equivalent a napkin soaked in crisco... 😂 Works great

I use one for camping and put it out by putting it back into the kerosene, no problem.
