Thanks Vlad, very helpful.

Good tips on the Silfos 15 rods. Now all I need is a monkey...

I suspect I will have a hard time finding a coil small enough on an old refrigeration unit. But I will keep an eye out.

Since this is a brand new unit, I think I will run it on gas for a while and get a feel for "normal" operation and other things (like idle speed). It will help to tune when I switch to propane.

Last question, I suspect the copper tubing I need is NOT the soft coils sold at the home hardware stores? If not, where is a good place to get the good stuff?
