Thats the exact set I picked up. A guy in ME was selling off a bunch of them from his SAR team. I thought they were fairly expensive, but, I liked the idea of keeping everything together in one place. Once I burn off the HEET stuff, I will try the methyl stuff from a hardware store. I'm interested to see if one burns hotter than the other.
As far as damaged units; the guy I bought it off of on evil-bay had over 3000 positive feedbacks. And, through several emails, he assurred me that it works, and, if I'm not satisfied, to return it. does that mean he's a good guy? Nope, but it gave me a little more confidence.
And, worst case scenario, I can BUILD another alkie cooker for it. Give me a project to do <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
