    I received my caps (inner and outer) along with my Viton cap washer today. I have replaced old/original cap. The stove is pumping up and holding pressure. I am going to light it this evening, or tomorrow

    Does anyone have any guidelines or advice on what I should or shouldn't do?

    I am following the instruction sheet listed here.

    I have pics posted in the reference gallery, if you would like to take a look, here is the link

    I see this stove burns Kerosene, which I have. :oops:

    Thanks in advance,

    Woodsy

    Don't skimp on the preheat and you'll be fine. You want good strong denatured ethanol, not the watered down isopropanol sold as rubbing alcohol.

    Enjoy, and don't forget the flame shots!
