Burner Unit, Portable Cooker Mk1, 1943

[Jordan Baker]

I’ll try and dig out the stand tomorrow and take some pictures and dimensions. It’s quite heavy duty.

The burner is pretty much the same as your Coleman 500 stove except much larger. But it works on the same principle of using the heat from the raw fuelflame to heat the burner that then vaporizes the fuel going into the burner. I’d suggest let it squirt out then shut off the raw fuel, light it and let it burn off. Then keep repeating the process until the burner it’s vaporizing the fuel in the supply line. Once it’s heated up the flame is quite tame. Until that point you are injecting raw gasoline into a flame. So it’s quite intense. Saying this, use at your own risk and definitely make sure you are well into the open and away from other things like buildings.
