stove
hello ken, I have never had a kerosine stove so I only THINK they operate like the alcohol stove. Pump them 15 or 20 strokes put two tablespoons of alcohol ( I think because the alcohol is less messy or burns hotter ) in the depression at the base of the burner, set it on fire to pre heat the tube, then, when it goes out open the burner valve and light it.I would do all this outside the boat if possiblejohn
