Read it and weep. Some of the comments are hilarious. This has pretty much all been beaten to death by us but it's almost fun to see other fools blundering about.

I once heard this sort of discussion described as sounding like, ". . .two junkies talking about how to get to the moon because they heard there was smack in the craters."

Well, I did run Otter on a converted refrigeration compressor for 20 years... so it can work.

What worries me is toward the end of the video he says that for a boiler "he'll throw the pressure cooker on the woodfire" :o

Makes me think he may not be making another video!

I read it and indeed it is quite funny to read. I guess it should be posted in the jokes section and it will be great for everyone.
