I’m having trouble using this, and I wonder if it’s user error? In videos online, it only takes about 30 seconds to prime and start burning out the sides. However, it seems to take 2-3 minutes for me, and then not burn that long once it’s burning through the side holes with a put on top. I had to do that inside a closed space just to get it to work. It is extremely finicky outside. Even with no perceived wind, it blows out repeatedly. It ends up taking a very long time to heat up the fuel until it’s able to push vapor out of the side holes. I tried using a structure around it as a windscreen, but the pot has to be completely covering the top hole or else the fuel burns out quickly and in an uncontrolled manner once it gets hot, and my wind screen option prevented the pot from sealing on top of the stove. I’m using 91% rubbing alcohol as my fuel. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? I love the design, the weight, it’s strong, and seems well made.
