Kool another cookie trailer! Are all your top vent covers there? I have a few extra if you need them. I ended up using propane burners from cheapo Aldi's turkey fryers, took the legs off and put a piece of sheet Al in side of the field range to hold it, I also use them where you have your MBU's...
My M109 is the same as above but without the deflector. I have since straighten the exhaust stack, also added filter by heater and rubber fuel line to stop it from chattering when it gets going.
Re: RE: more
My gunner couldn't hit zilch unless we had AC/DC playing during gunnery! We simply used a headphone lead out of a boombox and hooked it in to where the fieldphones plug into the VIC1. Nothing like putting 120mm holes in foam and chicken wire listening to "thunderstruck".
