Lighting The Windburner
The novel Windburner stove from MSR does non come upwards amongst a built-in piezoelectric ignition. It industrial plant fine to lite the stove amongst a check or butane lighter, but it's ever squeamish to know what your options are. So, I thought I'd attempt a distich of quick lighting experiments.
UPDATE 27 Nov 2014: I've added ii videos that demonstrate lighting the Windburner amongst a firesteel inwards windy conditions. See my Wind Testing post.
1. Firesteel
First, I tried a firesteel.
If you're non familiar amongst a firesteel, they're a fairly unproblematic agency of lighting things. You accept the steel striker, which is the silvery object on the left inwards my mitt inwards the inwards a higher house photo, too scrape it speedily too amongst forcefulness along the firesteel which is the object amongst the reddish base of operations inwards my hand. A shower of sparks results. Now, sparks volition lite some things but non others. For example, skillful luck lighting just a stick lonely amongst a firesteel. But attempt a firesteel on something fluffy too airy similar a spread out cotton wool ball or dryer lint, too it volition function merely fine.
OK, too thus what most lighting stoves? Well, it industrial plant good on some, but it's a flake harder on others. The clitoris a fast ane on unremarkably is to strike from conduct above. I tried it on the novel Windburner, and...
And it's perfect. I hateful it industrial plant really, actually well. It tin privy live a clitoris a fast ane on to lite some stoves amongst a firesteel, but the Windburner makes it expect easy. The rim some the Windburner appears to comprise too concentrate the heavier-than-air fuel gasses. The burner caput of the Windburner is squeamish too broad too catches all the sparks. I tried lighting the Windburner several times amongst a distich of dissimilar firesteels, too I got the stove to lite on the outset try every time. That's pretty good; many stoves accept multiple tries earlier they'll lite amongst a firesteel. Basically, a firesteel is eminently practical amongst a Windburner.
2. Hand held Piezoelectric
Next, I thought I'd attempt a handheld piezoelectric ignition.
I tried varying the gas period of time too placing the igniters inwards dissimilar places on the burner head, all to no avail. Bottom line: It merely didn't work.
So, cypher populace shattering here, but it's squeamish to know what your options are. I know many people similar having a firesteel along, too thus it's squeamish to know that a privy steel industrial plant really, actually good on a Windburner.
There yous get got it. All inwards a day's function hither at Adventures inwards Stoving.
Thank yous for joining me,
