Fun afternoon, I made the penetration and installed the tap for the new brewpot and thought I would test it on my new shiny NASA. I expected a bit of burn off on its first outing, but jebus, I thought I was going to die!.
Bloody paint on the burner ignited after ten minutes and the flames started moving towards the HP hose. Of course I was around the other side inspecting the kettle tap for leaks and didn't notice until my daughter walked home form school and said "Wow dad. should that be doing that?"
"Doing what?..... nooooooooo........"
Anyway, I got to the gas tap before anything exploded but now everything tastes like cheap scorched paint including the SchofferHoffer hefeweizen I've poured to calm my nerves.
I think I might disasemble the burner and strip the remaining paint off before I start it up again. Just to be on the safe side.
