Suggestion

Other than not setting fire to them at all, the best priming you can give the burner I would have thought was the best.

Have yet to give Adi's suggestion in the trial forum vote of using a blowlamp to pre-heat to see what that does, else would have made a vote.

Still like the meths(De natured alchohol) as it brings back memories of playing with the Mamod traction engine.

Anyway why am I still here at 3.30 in the the morning.
