Thanks, Paul. Once these were certified by the relevant Australian
regulatory bodies these would be interesting to try in some local

One of my nephews is doing his apprenticehip in boiler-making. Some

Interesting, but not my main focus. I would like to see this type of
solution to function with TLUDs as the heat source. Then count me in.
