    This is a recently acquired Tilley CS56 dated 10/1956.

    It is missing the risers on the pot rack, but I will make a removable trivet instead.

    It’s running well (the orange flame is corrosion residue — it’s not burning rich).

    Impressive beast!
    Great afternoon-sun images too!
    Wondering if the aspect ratio would make it a little tenuous with a largish pot on top?
    Thanks for (another) great presentation...
