The process of manufacturing burner
For the burner housing, any small tin can with a metal lid is suitable.
Under it is made in the rings. It is needed to increase the area of evaporation of alcohol, which will provide a powerful uniform burning. It can be sewed from cropping fire sleeves, tarpaulin or other natural material. Fitil should be placed close to the inner walls of the cans.
In the bank itself, it is necessary to pierce the holes with a tide with a thickness of 2 mm. They make their way around the circle with a step of 8 mm at a distance from the upper side of 15 mm. Each of them needs to be slightly turned up to direct the flame.
Before use, a little alcohol is poured into the burner, literally 50 ml. You can refuel denaturates, and gasoline, acetone suit on the street. Then the fuel is set up. You need to wait 10-20 seconds until the bank is warmed up, and quickly close it with a lid.
The flame inside spends all air and immediately goes out. Then it remains only to set fire from the outside of the alcohol pair, overlooking the side openings. After that, you can put a teapot, a saucepan or other dishes on the burner.
