That was a result of an unfortunate potato-gun accident...

I'M KIDDING !!!!!! She had some hip-displasia thing going on which crippled her, but once my buddy fitted her with a wheel-chair-trailer-thingy which she pulled her hind-quarters along (rolling) with her front legs, she was happy as could be... Now if I could only find THAT video footage.

I see you have your pressure guage in the middle of the meter and I have seen some with a pressure guage with a regulator prior to the ball valve. What are the advantage and disadvantages of each design.

Read the How-To section. Link is at the top right of the page.
I personally wrote a how-to about over/under combustions... but there are tons of them there. Also read the wiki (again, link at the top right). Browse around, read up. Everything you need to know is already posted on this site, you just need to look for it.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.
