    I'm posting a video demonstration of Stu's preheater on YouTube.

    I lit it again later today without the draught shield and it worked just fine! (No drafts to speak of in the shop.) Wonderful heat on my backside while working up on a ladder :D

    Hi Al,

    Put me down for two of these, I really like the idea of having the torch mounted on the heater like the BF.

    I have mega torch which lights my heaters and FL6s with one lighting with no draft tube. The bottle is a bit wider than the Tilley one as this torch does not fit the standard jar. I think that's why I've seen these torches crippled by removing one side; it then fits (but defeats the purpose).

    Nice video!
