    Well, after heating up the stuck pricker valve, I thought I was all set for my new stove to work perfectly, not so much ](*,) if fired up nice but would not hold pressure. Being frustrated I put it away for a while, then today I thought I would try again. I gave it the old add pressure and place in water to see if any bubbles show up, and lo and behold lots of bubbles around the filler cap. Removed old gasket, which was hard as a rock, replaced with new one that I made, repeated pressure test, and bingo :clap: no bubbles, took out side and fired up like a champ. Very happy, this thing cranks out flame, shots include some simmer shots as well as full throttle. Thanks for all the great advise on my last post about this stove. I hope you all enjoy the photo's Dean

    Nice to see a big 110 fired up!

    I have an unfired chrome one from the early '50s as part of my office stove display; the one that starts with this 3-pinter, then 2 pinter, 1 3/4, 1-2.....

    Looks like that little adjustment knob works.
