    Are you sure it is an alcohol stove?
    Tito-Landi's are just as often fuelled by gasoline.

    You should not plug the hole at the bottom!
    The little tube you see there ends up high under the top of the tank, and is needed to vent it.
    Try to solder it back in place, and check that it breathes freely afterwards.
    If I don’t remember wrong, the tube has a loop to prevent (a larger amount) of the fuel to escape that way if the stove is tilted.

    Firedevil, there are plenty of these stoves posted in here.

    Just search for Tito Landi or Tito.

    It’s working well.
    It simply pulls out, but could well have stuck with age and fuel residue. The visible part appears to be in good condition, but charring at the burner end can compromise function. Apparently not in this case!
