    Hello , after getting my "Intensive Furnace n.8"running.No.8 Intensive is scary hot
    I was impressed with the heat it produced and i decides to test.
    I was curious about the question that @Scrambler asked and it will be the 1that i will test or verify.
    The stove does note have any structure to put a pot on top.
    Can anyone tell me at what height of the flames to put the trivet on top to have the best use of heat ?

    Stoves like that weren't designed to have a trivet or to be a cook stove. They are portable heat units used to heat any large vessel, like a wash tub or pasteurizing tank or anything else that needed a heat source. The American equivalent is the Handy Gas Plant, although some of those do have a grate.

    Level ‘2’ in your annotated photo is about right.

    It corresponds to where Primus’s No.1137 pot stand places a pot base above their No.85 furnace for which the stand was intended.

    In one of their blowtorch catalogues, Sievert (Svea) presented this guide to the temperature graduation of a blowtorch flame, which your stove burner flames will correspond to.

    Thank you very much for the information, i know that the heat produced was a lot but i thought it was so much. From the graph you posted, only One burner produces so much , multiplying by 8 ir really produces a lot of heat.
    And now you've convinced me to really go ahead and build the "structure" to test it 8]8]
