    The door hinge on it is actually an old freightliner door hinge that I slightly modified and repurposed.

    Yeah it does... The way the rim is shaped it concentrates the heat all around the Dutch oven, with very little heat loss laterally. I would guess that 80% to 90% of the heat is directed up. Even in windy conditions.

    The trainer I had when at CR England said if your going to walk away, you need a bungee cord to hold the nozzle in place.

    That is in the lesson plan for Phase 2,....Phase 1 is just finding the correct nozzle for the correct hole...nothing about keeping it in.
