My mate just got one via ebay. First thing I noticed is that there is no vent control.

A quick trip to Bunnings sorted that. Some flashing tape to block up 5 of the six holes per side and then some 20mm gas fittings including two of these (https://www.bunnings.com.au/gastite-20m ... e_p4790572) and all sorted. Had to slightly drill out the two holes so that we could screw in the fittings.

Now full control over the temp, all good.
I just saw one of these at my local Bunnings for $150. Could be worth a punt. How did you connect the valve you linked in your post? I'm guessing you needed a male to male 20mm coupler? So you put one either side of the base? How do you use them? Why do you need two?

Sorry for the delay!

Yes, male to male coupler with some nuts to lock it in place. We used them either side of the base, two because we thought that would provide a more even air flow the feed the fire.
Nice one. Thanks. I ended up buying one. After some Googling, seems like the common practice is one ball valve and 3 or 4 capped nipples for extra air intakes. I'm going to give that a go. Yet to take it out of the box.
