The Fuel log is a great addition. Looks super cool! Two Things I experienced with mine, FYI.
#1 it cooked the fuel the first run. I had to slot the uprights which lowered the heat transfer to the fuel manifold.
#2 Keep the hoses as low as you can. Mine vapor locked on me, took me a while to figure it out. I filled the bowls up with fuel after I shortened the hoses a bit (which took some of the arc out of them). Haven't had the problem since.
