You'd think this would be about the simplest thing in the word to use, but apparently I'm just dumb enough to mess it up. Below is a set up I rigged up, mainly to test it out and assess what size pot stand and windscreen would work best. Pot is a Toaks 1300. Hardware cloth pot stand is about 2 1/4, windscreen is about 3 1/2. The stove is 1 inch tall. About 3-4 mins into a boil, I get flames swirling around inside so much it actually burns the surface it's sitting on (a piece of plywood in this case... prompting yells from upstairs along the lines of "are you trying to burn the f-ing house down!?").
What am I doing wrong?
The Caldera system, which I have seen work with the Modified Starlyte, has holes around the top of the windscreen/pot stand. Should I put some holes in the windscreen? Is the windscreen to close to the pot? I'm baffled. Any help would be appreciated.
