 >> Hi,
 >>
 >> I did a bit of accidental cooking with my 304TL coil. I used too large of
 >> a topload, and too large of a tank cap. The large tank cap caused me to
 >> use too few primary turns which causes a larger RF current to flow.
 >> According to Bert H. too large of a toroid also caused some large
 >> circulating currents to flow.This all added up to trouble, and caused the
 >> bottom bolt on the secondary to get so hot that it melted the solder
 >> connection. My wooden support burned all along where the bolt, and ground
 >> strap contacted it.
 >>
 >> Continuous wave coils are much better at cooking than spark gap systems by
 >> the way.
 >>
 >> Please be careful. When there is no secondary, and sparks to dissipate the
 >> energy, you are going to have lots more RF floating around, which can be
 >> nasty if you are wearing jewlery, and harmful to other electronic devices
 >> nearby. You will also get an RF burn off of practically every thing
 >> conductive that you touch, whether it is grounded or not. If your OFF
 >> switch is metal like mine was, use a plasic rod or something to flip it

 >> with a metal object that is already in your hand like a key or something
 >> before you can touch it with your bare skin. When you wish to draw your
 >> hand away, you will have to make contact with the key first before you
 >> break electrical contact with your skin, otherwise you will draw an arc
 >> and get an RF burn. This all sounds very bizzare, but welcome to the world

 >> Have fun, and play safe,
