Can someone who has one please answer this question. Os it true that this burner will never burn out as long as there's alcohol to wick up? To be more specific, if I put the wicks in one gallon of alcohol, how long will it burn?

Took a stab at this and had some strange results. For a wick I used 4 strands of 100% cotton string. The build went well and then I lit up the burner bowl. The flame began to grow and had reached roughly 4-5 inches. It burned like that for about 45 seconds and then began to hiss for 10 seconds and then went out like it ran out of fuel (plenty in the reservoir). After allowing some time to wick up some fuel I relit the stove with same result. I thought that maybe the wicking material was not suitable so i removed the wick only to find the wick had burnt in half right at the jet orifice. I rewicked with an actual wick for kerosene lanterns by trimming to appropriate width. I lit the stove with a mediocre flame and then went out after a minute maybe less. My fuel is new denatured alcohol. Any suggestions?

What's the purpose of putting the fire under the feed tube? Is it supposed to vaporize the fuel to make it burn better?

Name song please

you made a hole too big. it doesn't work right for you. it just burns, but should work noisily under pressure and burn with a strong blue fire. remake. make the hole smaller
