    Nikos you may standard 96 pot supports are too short for this.If you like I can try making some for you.I sawed up a shopping cart a while back so I may have the correct stock.

    Thank you, guys, for your nice comments about the stove ! :thumbup: :thumbup:
    I'm really crazy about it but didn't have time to spend on it yet. It seems that the pump is jammed from the inside.... It moves a little bit but the rod is blocked by something that sounds metallic. Any idea about that ?

    Can't wait to post its first flame shot !

    a/ aaarh.... her name is Martha :shock: .... she is a goddess :shock:
    b/ About the pot support, it would be incredibly wonderful !! But... I already owe you so much !! :oops:

    Watch it Nikos she is betrothed.Her fiancee is the mandolin player and her mom is the one playing
    that great clawhammer style banjo.You better start working on your banjo pickin'.
    I'll see about making you some legs.Send me the length.I think they will be higher then standard 96 legs.
