Subject: Tell me what I missed...


I know a new one is only a few dollars. This one works now. Anyone who
sees the flaw, let me know.

A simple racking cane. I lost the little fitting that goes on the inlet
end. Rather than put a lot of time into it, I lit up the old bernz-o-matic
and closed the end. Then I got out a little saw and cut a hole in one side
of the pipe about 3/4" (or so) from the bottom. It works like a charm. It
seems to clean fine.

What have I missed?

Ed

ps: about an hour after I "fixed" it, my wife found the little end cap.
(grin)

You didn't miss anything. Of course she found the cap 'after' you fixed it.
Would you expect anything else?

Just wondering if there is any sanitation issues I missed.

No more than with the original setup.

Sounds fine to me. The only issue I'd be careful of is making sure it
gets cleaned/sanitized well. I'd imagine that the inside of the sealed
end would be a good place for residue to get stuck.
