yes its an unvented cylinder and unless you are G3 qualified you can not do it im afraid and if you were G3 you wouldnt be asking , sorry

I have no qualifications ,just a keen DIY
I did it before a few years ago
But have seen a few videos on youtube that made me stop and think
How dangerous could it be

my family came from Wishaw many years ago
great pies and square sausage!!!!
