You can thread the aluminum hose through the pipes and then through the hole in the tin. The pipes crush it a bit, but it works OK. Use the silvery stuff. I had mine on for years and it did not burn.

Me too. But I had to clear my browser’s cache to get it to work.

Looks like you’re doing what I did, Jim. You uploaded the pics and then grabbed the url from the browser window on top. That don’t work. But if you right-click the photo you’ll get a little menu which includes the url. THAT’s the one to paste into that “source” pane here.

This method is new to all of us. You timed your arrival perfectly!
