Within a minute, the cap started to glow red. So far so good, no yellow flames as a sign of overfuelling in, say, a Primus 96 with a worn jet orifice With that photographed and the stove cooled off, I swapped the jet for one of 0.32mm size, which Arachnocampa had confirmed was the size of the jet in his stove, or perhaps a little larger. Here's the flame, not just on start-up, but twenty minutes into a test session
Īlso, crucially, it's got a 0.23mm jet, the correct size for a No.4 stove. Primus No.4 with Primus brand brass cap in good condition. Someday, everything is going to be different In a plane ride so bumpy that I almost criedĬlergymen in uniform and young girls pulling musclesĮveryone was there to greet me when I stepped inside Sailing 'round the world in a dirty gondola Someday, everything is going to be smooth like a rhapsody When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese Train wheels running through the back of my memory Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Colosseum She promised that she'd be right there with me Where I've got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish stairs You can almost think that you're seeing double Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble My favourite version is the cover by Bob Dylan's backing band, The Band, on their album 'Cahoots'. "When I paint my masterpiece" it'll surely be with the startling hues of that underburning outer cap. Knowing the outer cap was already 'destroyed' in Burmos instruction terms, I let it get hotter and hotter, but shut it down before meltdown occurred
It went into underburn easily though, by pressurising the stove with the priming charge still lit, igniting the jet of vapourised fuel below the burner Much to my surprise, the cap enabled a silent burner to fire up reasonably well I decided to use the Colosseum outer cap to stage a photoshoot of underburning in action. How had it got like that? 'Underburning', or 'lighting back' as these Burmos stove instructions referred to it was the cause, and not merely the passage of time as with the Colosseum and as a backdrop for Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck during their Roman Holiday He maybe had grand ruins like the Colosseum in mind and so did I when I looked at this burner cap. "The streets of Rome are filled with rubble" Bob Dylan sang. A stove came my way complete with this sorry relic of a silent burner cap, as bad a case of the consequences of 'underburning' as I've ever seen
