So to answer my own question!! Does the Larger burner head make it faster at boil time? I recently bought an APG Stove with the larger silent burner head, great stove larger than the Iwalker and holds more fuel.. So I swapped heads the APG didn't like the smaller head at all, nothing but a fire ball. The Iwalker on the other hand worked well with no issues using the larger head. So does it make for a better stove? In A WORD, NO!! Actual boil time was up by 2 extra minutes the font became hot as a waffle iron and consumed more fuel.. Although it looks cool and beefier it's not at all efficient as with the smaller head. CASE CLOSED!!!!
It may work with a wider base pot, I used a Tall 5" base pot with 8 cups of water.. Wide head 10 minutes, narrow head 8 minutes.
So curiosity got the better of me and made a 50/50 blend of Kerosene and White fuel to see what would happen.. The results are good, boil time still 8 minutes (Correction with 7 cups) of water and a nice flame.. Will increase the Kero to 60%.
Increasing the percentage of Kerosene didn't work.. Needs a Kerosene jet my guess? Big yellow flame ball was all I got.
You can add a little bit of anhydrous alcohol (avoid exceeding >10% or it can get too lean for the first attempt) or 91% isopropyl to that kerosene-white gas mix and it'll burn with a blue flame. I accidentally put kerosene mixed with charcoal lighter fluid (didn't label the bottle) into mine before without realizing it and was confused by the yellow flame before I sniffed the fuel. I experimented with mixes before and it is safe combustion wise to add a small quantity like that to improve the burning characteristics of kerosene.
Kerosene in an airplane is better than what we get in your store. Is it because it has more alcohol in? Does that mean kerosene will be even better in winter? Thank guy to share you knowledge and experience with us. Very interesting.
Been through twenty pages, mostly LPG stoves. Nothing that uses white gas. Did see that weird 8-wick kero stove.
found this, looks like it but has a quite flame bit , there is a vid by Charles Artificer IWalker G41 G43 Gasoline Stove
got 2 of them 8 wicks stoves, they are good, but do not like any slight wind, best used indoors, £5, that is cheap, mine cost £15, then they went up to £40, in lockdown, might get 1 more for a fiver if it is free postage
