    French radiator/furnace Etna made by Intens. IMG_20231206_154541339~2.jpg
    I had some problems getting it up and running, as there was some unpleasant damage to the tank during the soldering portions. IMG_20231113_190409066.jpg
    I described it here.Repair of a broken Etna French stove/heater tank.
    When I dealt with the repair of the tank, I plated it as a stove and conducted a combustion test.
    IMG_20231118_130706350.jpg The tank held the pressure well, so I decided to make up the missing parts to make it work as a heater.
    In the diagram , which I found here the guard is in the shape of a star, so I made something similar from brass spring wire with a thickness of 4mm.

    Then from a brass jug I made a dome for the burner.

    Yesterday and today was camped by the tranquil Turon River. It was 40C in the shade and freely admit was prostrated by the heat.

    So far no French pressure products have turned up here in Shetland.
