Heres a pic of them, I made them out of 3/4×1/8 aluminum. Just clamped them to the work bench and used a adj wrench on the other end, thats one and a half turns. My stove actually has eight tubes I only bought enough to see if I could make them

Looks good although I'm scratching my chin. What do you do with them?

I made mine out of 3/4 x 1/16 stock. I pieced together a metal twister from parts I ordered from Grizzly.

they slide inside of the heat ex changer tubes to provide a little turbulence and more surface area for heat transfer
