Thanks Lesley, I sure hope it does. My trees seem to like running through the night so I'm hoping for some nice heavy pails in the morning. In the meantime going to go check and see what's going on now, would like to make SOME steam tonight...and once I start getting a lot, must get the propane tank from my buddies (ha!) and get em to show me how to safely hook it up to the burner.
