<HTML>Hi Dick,,,I dont know if the feature ,,fuel to run back out if not vaporized was a Amsley feature or if it was common to original Baker design,,,i have only seen one real Baker burner[so far],,,It's a really good feature,,,I cant immagine a reason for the Stanley to collect fuel in the bottom,,,except to sell more burners,,,like the fragile engines,,,BUT they warn in the owners handbook NOT to abuse[hot rod] the car,,,,Yes a quantity of fuel in the burner is to be avoided at almost any cost,,,including time,, If you can get it lit above the grate and coax it to burn [nicely] it may burn above the boiler up the vent flap [wow] as the mixture will be too rich to burn before it gets to secondary air,,, David Nergaard talked me through this[harrowing] experience HAD my fullest attention the whole while,,,The owners book meerly says lift the hood,,dont burn the paint, prefer to do this BEFORE the 2'
flame singes the arm ,,,I'm not sure if they had nerves of steel,,,or hands on experience w/ the long gone? gasoline cook stove,,,,or was it the GASOLINE house vapor lamp system,, Pat#632376,,,,and,,632377[1899]Sweet memories of milk an'burnt cookies,,Hope i dont ramble too much here,,,we got 1 ft last nite,,,the other half will come before nitefall,,, Sat,a day off??
