Yea it makes things a bit easier to use, I am well over 6 foot and my back gives me gyp, so raising everything helps a lot.

You also don't leave little burnt patches on campsite grass...

Oh yes, that reminded me I also built a 30l one ages ago out of a small hot water cylinder for heating the outside baths, but I could never get to to draw properly. I should look at this one again actually, see if I can't get it to work ok....

Cool build. Got a proper old one in the shed, picked it up at a garage sale. Never used it cos it's a bit scody. Must give it a clean and have at it...

[edit]

Had to have a look at it.

it's in far better nick than I remembered, and as a bonus was packed in an old twin flagon case. Wish I'd known that when I got in a bidding war for one on tardme for the flagon club. Hoarding's only good when you remember what you've got squirreled away... :)

It's probably in worse nick than you remembered, it's just that dealing with OS cars has desensitized you to rust in recent years. You're on your way to Barryism.
