@Tantra how long does a tank of fuel last when you’ve got it cranked up like the top picture? Guess it warms the room up somewhat whilst it is at full throttle. Never seen a heater dome quite like it before though. Regards John
Just got this for my 8r in the post from the Ukraine. Silent burner. Thread fits perfectly and burns really well. Unfortunately the whole burner bell is too wide to fit with the lid shut so needs removing when cool and refitting. Fits the 99 also but again too big to put the top on for transport.

Probably the first time it's been started in 25-30 years. made in Canada. Great shape for being 42 years old:
