Q-School Graduate
Bought myself one of these:-
http://www.supergoose.co.uk/index.php/s-boston
Instructions are a bit hit and miss as it seems to have been translated and therefore a bit patchy. There's not much to it though so not really a problem.
There is a discrepancy between the instruction supplied and the website about how long to hold in ignition button with the website being correct (20 seconds rather than 3 as suggested in the supplied handbook)
Comes with a filler cone so you don't overfill it.
Gadget itself well made. Has an aluminium case and provided with a carry case/hand protector as it gets quite hot after about 20 mins.
Tribal design on upper part presumably to vent spent waste fumes (which I can't smell).
Overall design not to my taste but it's a functional bit of kit that will live in it's protective bag for most of it's life so not much odds to me.
Not much danger of accidental lighting as all you have to do is take the bottom bit/fuel reservoir off, turn it around and re-insert it. On the top bit one side feeds the catalizer and the other is a rubber blank.
Cut the fuel off- no heat- simple.
The catalyser hold no fuel on its own so simply separating the two halves and remove the batteries will do the trick if your worried.
Works standing up or on it's side and claims to go for 30 hours on one fill -up(which is about a fifth of a standard bottle of lighter fluid).
Can't testify to that but after 4 hours it's still going strong which is enough for me and enough for the only reason I would be out in the cold for that long - golf.
Price - about £30 plus delivery
