I've been told the barrels don't hold up well, and it's no fun having

I have a CO detector with a digital readout and test it over hot

Do you know how many BTUs you need now?

No idea on btu. I'd have digital CO detectors, and I was wondering
about burnthrough, although the barrels are cheap. But no doubt about
burnthrough incidents.
