I thought a new thread for the Huky 500T would give more room for what lies ahead for me.
It was delivered this morning and I spent an hour or so assembling the package, as others have stated it is beautiful, almost too beautiful. It looks as if it was designed in the 1930's but not built until now, Some features are not mentioned elsewhere, the door for the bean exit has a heavy stainless steel handle that relies on its weight to keep it open or shut, these simple elegant solutions just go to prove Mr Li's engineering and design skills.. It all went together easily apart from one very small Allen key that held the external tubing assembly together. I found one in the cave and it is now complete.
The Centre 301 Type K thermometer has T1 and T2 connectors for the two probes fitted to the Huky and a USB cable for the laptop when I know what I am doing. I have two fans and two different bases, one for smoke exhaust and the other for cooling.
I was going to take pictures but first I went to collect a propane cylinder from our supplier in the Severn Valley Railway Yard. Walking the mile home across the river with it in my backpack was a big mistake, and I now ache in places I didn't know existed. When my back and dodgy knee stop screaming at me I will take a full set up sequence on the doorstep.
Where did I put those pain killers...............................
