They are cooking as I type. I've learned a few things and so far, it has been going well.

Was this some sort of a trial?...or is it a companion to the large tank?

Does anyone know a good source in the US for the washer? I've googled the part number and it hits on a UK website only and Europa. Can't seem to figure how to order it from the UK site. IT called for Hardened steel and I did order some from Fastenal, but none of their washers list hardened steel - just "steel". Not sure if that is a washer that will do the job. > > Thanks, > > > Dave Anderson > A227 > Mini U2 > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=413012#413012 > > ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:58:47 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Belleville Washer From: Robert Borger Dave, Yes, probably something from McMaster.
