Hello, i do same desing but my problem is maybe i using like wick a mini rope (sorry for my english) the capilarity fails but when get pressure my flame is pure blue (good heat), the other problem is the heat and presure on the bottle..., for ignite it i require a candle for 4 minutes on the pipe... maybe i do a 3 roll pipes and long tubes to see if that work better.., nice stove!

@nopochoclos It would be good to see your burner, know size of tube, jar, what kind and size is wick, otherwise is difficult to give you good answer. I am using fiberglass wick, but cotton wick also works ok not so long as fiberglass but still good. Wick shouldn't be too thin. Burner has to be fully pressurized. Only hole is jet hole.

@lebammabel i cant withstand temps from fire, believe me i know and it stinks like all hell when it burns

Ok, cheers mate, I'll get some brazing rods!

[lebammabel]

To make copper burner I used hard solder sticks which are used for brazing.

To tell truth I haven't seen JB weld only on internet, because it is not present in my country. If you want to find information about it just type "JB Weld" in search bar. I know some youtubers are using it. It is like cold welding stuff and can withstand high temperatures.

Yes, I see that now, I'm wondering what kind of solder you used to build the copper stove, or was it jb weld?

[lebammabel]

I also made kind of dish on my copper stove.

@lebammabel

Thanks for the quick response, I have seen how you did it now, it seems to heat up pretty fast. I'm going to make one almost identical, but I'm going to fashion a small dish that will go on top before the pipes are fixed in place, I can put my primer fuel into that.

This was first burner I made and I didn't want to film before I haven't checked it. But when it worked good I was too happy to think about movie.

But seriously speaking, I put small muffiner with alcohol under coil to preheat and pressurize burner after it was lighted up. You can see it in my other videos.

Stove seems pretty effective, I was just wondering how you got it fired up, as there doesn't seem to be any way to pre-heat the coil?
