Thanks for making the video. I didn't have the rope but did have fiberglass insulation. So I covered it with a stainless steel mesh making a puck that fit in the tray. I like it because there is less of a chance of burning fuel spilling all over in the odd chance the stove gets knocked over.
Hi Andy. Thank you for posting. I spent a lot of time experimenting with vaporising meths burners in small scale high pressure live steam model engineering a long time ago. My ten cents on this one would probably be meths for the win either way. Heck of a lot cheaper than biofuels etc. If you can live with the smell of meths that is ! It's coming on for autumn and the colder days out and about. A nice cup of tea out of my crusader mug (with a dollop of condensed milk of course) is always good for morale. And meths won't break the bank and its easy enough to get from somewhere like screwfix. Happy trails and enjoy the colours of early autumn, its a wonderful time of year. All the best. Jan.
@Jan-et1uz thanks for your wonderful words, Jan. For many years I have loved all the seasons, even winter. I don't mind the smell of meths. It's a psychological comfort feeling of what's to come. Food and tea, or a cuppa on it's own. I really glad you enjoyed.
By the looks Andy they've made the rope for nothing - both 8 minutes. I must say though I thought the second count was slightly quicker - you ought to have ought a stop watch on it. Well, a fun experiment. Good going. Mark
@WyeExplorer the count was a fraction quicker. The poring was a fraction later, and there was a breeze for a very short while. it satisfied my thoughts on what to use, and that's no rope. The rope is actually made for sealing doors on kitchen cookers and boilers. It's not an outdoor accessory. It was only a few quid marks, so not too much of a loss. 🙂
