Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Make sure you have good ventilation.
Make sure you do a water run and a vinegar run so you don't have any leaks.
You WILL get addicted to this forum.

I would strongly suggest against usin' a big propane burner in an apartment.
It seems foolhardy... and as James Thurber said: Where most of us will end up there is no knowin'... but the hellbent know where they are goin'.
