1129147 2010-08-18 09:10:00 Well done it is immensely satisfying when your first build fires into live without dying a horrible death gary67 (56)

Maybe you had the damper closed . Remember that we run a 240v system here in upside-down land SJ - trying to force 240v through something that's expecting 120v lets the magic smoke out .
