used 1 1/2 oz fuel (capacity)...a small amount of fuel boiled out of side holes during pre-heating...even though will hold this much fuel, it's probably too much |

2 oz was too much...I forgot! Per the maker, should only use 1 1/4 oz
takes a lot of pre-heating...if stove is not roaring, it's not properly lit & can go out...had to soak the pre-heat wick & since I over-filled it there was some fuel on the top as well that helped pre-heat it
flame lapped the pot to 1/2 way up
ranked last...but this stove was not designed to boil a qt of water & it didn't

this was an off design test...stove is meant to burn with cool fuel due to water bath around stove...which I did not use
the stove worked like this, but was hard on the wicks...they turned brittle & broke from last test
very tight flame...straight up from jet holes & wick tubes
