logoman, are the (self)pressurized alcohol burners quieter than gas?
At home, gas is to loud for my liking, you don't hear the delicate "tick" of the engine at low speed behind the gas burning roar... Maybe a gas regulator makes it better somewhat?

No, they are much noisier but when the boat is on the pond, you don't hear it.

(Perhaps you know already but if you gonna solder it you need to cooling off part of it since there's a "tubular wick" around the inner wall, drawing meths up to the holes?)
I just had a very short test with it. Maybe i should have put more alcohol in it. It didn't seem to vaporise alcohol. I'll try with more alcohol. I didn't know it had a wick inside. Thanks for the info. _________________ GIOVANNI
