Let's go with order....

Once we get the parts we'll take the 1 hour bus again and head over to the factory through endless fields and broken down buildings, and let's hope they don't stop mid-way to fill it up with 300 liters of gas because it took 30 mins the first time.
There are a few parameters we'll be able to play with.
- top temperature
- bottom temperature...
