Stupid question : The pot has a removable aluminum liner, and you lined the inside of the outer pot - with this duct insulation?

lol sweet. I've worked for a design engineer for a machinery company an we sell our machines all over the world. in the next two weeks i'll use the same software that Catepillar, John Deere and Boeing uses to build an attachment that will form part of a tunnel for an undergroud high speed train...

thanks,i do need a fire extinguisher, thanks for reminding me.

i have the 12 inch fan blowing out of the window, and the other window open to let air in. And the stairs leading to my room has a outside door - with a fan blowing that air in. it still gets too hot for my taste, that burner kicks out a lot of heat. Seriously underestimated the heat it puts...
