    Hi all, recently bought a silent burner which even with a complete new burner will not burn properly, it will burn properly very briefly then pop and the flame jumps down to the jet and burn there, any ideas?

    What is the make and model of the stove? How long have you owned it? What type of fuel does it burn? Who made the cap? Posting photos might help clarify your situation.

    Bog standard Primus no 5 paraffin pressure stove, I have other similar stoves which will do this occasionally but this one will do nothing else.
