At 3:30 she took off without a re-lite and is blazing away nicely.
I still can't get over how nice and simple these EFM's work.
Not really bragging, just like 'em.

I have a Van Wert and it's similar. It will stay lit at least for 5 or 6 hours. I was surprised this summer when it was still lit after 12.

That's good to hear Dave. I've had my Gentleman Janitor / EFM running for a week now. It's just heating DHW and it is still warm down here, no outfires yet. I have even started to cut back the timer settings, still no outfire.
