No-where can I find at any stage in the manual, or other reference material, the actual application of flame to fuel.
That's what's got me puzzled. There is a round burner unit which feeds from the jerry can via a rubber siphon hose. Could the drip be lit at the burner?

Jon,
I have since remembered that I copied the manual before selling the cooker, in case another came my way. It is noted on the cover as superceding the one that you have. after reading your message, I am looking at the procedure to light a cold burner and briefly it is as follows;
1/ Lift draft gate.
2/ Remove burner from well.
3/ Open valve until fuel appears in crack between burner cap and burner body.
4/ Close valve.
5/ Ignite burner using one of the following methods;
(a) Ignite rags or paper in burner well, keeping face and body away.
(b) Ignite burner with match when smoke from rags or paper may reveal position to enemy. Keep face and body away when lighting burner and when inserting it in the burner well.
6/ Set flame shield opening toward wind to trap more air and thus shorten the time necessary to warm up the burner.
7/ Open valve to allow a slow drip for at least 3 minutes.
8/ Gradually increase the flow to an almost solid stream. When gasoline or kerosene is used, the burner should be ableto take an almost solid stream of fuel without smoking. (Smoke indicates waste of fuel)
9/ Close draft gate.
Shutting off the burner
Close the drip valve and allow the burner to remain in the burner well until the flames are fully extinguished.
There is a superceded fuel feed from the can mentioned. If you need any more info, PM me.
