Hi all,

I've been interested BD for many years, but have not yet set up my own system.

I'm keen to Graham Laming Advanced Push-Pull system shown here http://www.graham-laming.com/b...cessor/push_pull.htm

I have finally managed to aqcuire a 47kg propane tank to use, once I've safely emptied it of course.

I do have a friend who is handy as a plumber/electrician, but neither of us are experts with the whole BD technical aspects yet. Unfortunately my multi-skilled friend lives over an hour away and neither of us have much free time to spend tinkering.

I intend to use the non syphoning heater enclosure, as I like the idea of being somewhat safer. http://www.graham-laming.com/b...no_siphon/index.html I'd probably go down the route of cobbling one together out of the standard Iron fittings, shown further down the page.

There are some good guidelines on GL's website, but they doesn't seem to be a fully updated version with everyones good suggestions employed. It would be great to be able to put together a full parts/assembly and running diagram with all these suggestions included.

I don't have a massive amount of space in my Shed/workshop so need to keep this compact if possible.

I'd be keen to meet up with any other local BD enthusiasts/producers to see their set up and get some advice.

Anyone in Bristol or nearby that can help me get started?

There have been quite a few changes to the basic GL system you may have more response on Paddy's UK based forum here.
