Here's a little note on the burner. When ever I get one, I'll place the burner in a bread pan
or some other shape pan when filling for the first time. They can leak through tiny holes in
the bottom and if you do it on a table and lite it, well things can interesting fast. Now don't
think that you can test it with water first. Alcohol will leak through a hole that water cannot.
Water will lay on a table beaded up, alcohol will spread out flat. They have different surface
tension. You have some good pointers from everyone above, if you need more help, post it.
