Hi all. Forgive me, for it has been a long time since my last post ....... And my sin? Leaving the stove on lowest setting during a nature call this morning. What I found out? With stove on lowest setting, and a pot full of coffee set to side of flame to keep warm, the flame will blow out after shutting sliding door. I tried it once again to test. I had suspected this was the cause of the flame blowing out on my Westy's stove as it had happened a few times before. So be forwarned: A. If you're not in or near van, I would advise NOT leaving your stove on. (common sense yes, but it's tempting to do what I did. Even for a short "trip". I will do this no more!) B. If you slam the sliding door shut, the flame MAY blow out when at minimum setting. Cheers, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson. 1981 Air Cooled Westfalia. http://web.mac.com/tubaneil
