How much water?

Calling all Vulcan owners,

How much water do you put into your Burnac Vulcan for a normal steam up session?

I measured the capacity of mine as being about 230ml (or 8 fluid ounces).  I put in just over 100ml and the water level went to near the top of the sight glass.  I reckon between 100 and 150ml should be ok but just wanted to check.

Thanks

Hi Pete,

To the top of the sightglass should do the trick.

Thanks Odilon.  You know me ... I like to worry about these things.

Hi Pete

As Odilon says top of the sight glass works just fine.

Thanks Odilon ... the burners were are actually burning at the time but the flames didn't come out well in the photo.  Guess I'll have to do it again.
