I have switched to using a MSR Dragonfly. I love it for day hikes and overnights. I will gladly take the hit on the weight.

Anyhow it has a learning curve and I seem to be having a hard time getting the right about of fuel in the cup to preheat.

I usually give it around 10 pumps open the bottle valve all the way and crack open the stove valve slightly.

I always get a huge flame then when it tappers down to below the windscreen that’s when I start the fuel flow.

Anyone have any tips?
