Swamp coolers are perfect in dry weather. I had one in Colorado that cooled an enormous space during hot summers. Well worth it, and...
Thought that you all might find this interesting. The British Antarctic Survey still uses Primus stoves in harsh environments. Take a look:...
snwcmpr Interesting! I just checked my container here in the UK, and it's Citric first and Oxalic second. I have however used only Citric Acid...
I'm a citric acid guy.... BarKeepers Friend is CA and I think that Bon Ami is too. I picked up a bag from a soap making site for very little money...
