    I'll give some commentary later, or read the video description on youtube. I hope this is informative to some degree.

    I dip my spoon in the meths & pick up a small amount of fuel & then light the spoon before putting it back in the burner.

    Ken, I thought everyone living in the NC mountains had a still. Can't you spare a bit for your stoves? Brad
