Tea Strainer was $5 so ended up ordering an inline arrestor that is screwed inside the exhaust so can be left in all year round - $15

ok it arrived but doesnt fit, so am making one, just waiting for the stainless steel welding rods. Am using the gauze they use on ships that doesnt allow flame through, you can take a blow torch on full blast and put it 10mm away and no fire gets through only heat :) really cool. Tried welding it up, but need some special rods, so waiting for those....
