This shot is at Peter Gatley's place near Hamilton. Technically 10 is
a new record in the Kiwitub, but they're not very big.
Thanks to Peter also for pointing out the likely longevity of the
Kiwitub burner. He's dived at Dusky Sound where the 'Endeavour' went
down in 1795 - not Cook's ship but another of the same name. It's
still there under the water. The wood will crumble to the touch, but
the copper nails and sheathing are still fine after 213 years in
seawater.
So the copper and brass Kiwitub burner will hopefully still be heating
water when these guys have grandchildren of their own. Not your usual
product.
