 Last time I did this was Dec 2017. At the moment, memory of how to do it is pretty foggy, but luckily I have my earlier blog posts on this to refresh my memory so printing them out to review.

Maybe I should get one of those carbon monoxide warning devices, put it in the tent while we boil a pot of water.
