Hi All,  
The morning after results of burn 3.

@17s note the new lip on the top of my hourglass hearth. There’s some charcoal on it, but it went through the hottest temps of the burn and hasn’t distorted yet. One of my improvements, see reply # 360.

@42s I discover there’s a drain problem.

@57s A quick shot of the cooler condensate. You’ll have to pause the vid to really see it.

@1m06s when I said it’s full, it was only full from the valve up, since the valve remained in the closed position due to a bad handle.

With the moat drain plugged, the cooler did a stand up job of capturing the moisture. This was a good burn n learn.  
Pepe
