Hello krypto, I DO have a monster size flame going on this little lantern and feel the reason I am getting away with such a large flame without smoke is the premium "ultra pure" lamp oil I am using.
  I cooked rice with raisins this morning(mom made this for me when I was little) people seem to love or hate rasins, but we served as a sweet cereal with a pat of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and milk.
  You can forgo the raisins, but the cooker worked beautiful.
  I only run the monster size flame to get the water up to temp, then simmer the rice on a normal size flame. What I like is the lower heat forces one to slow cook and I have yet to scorch any food on this cooker. That little gas stove called "Rocket" can boil 2 cups of water in 3 min flat but very difficult to turn it low enough not to burn food on its lowest setting with thin camping cook pots.
  This cooker is a novelty ( light that cooks) but can be made to work well for many menu items, but I would never try to fire a steak on it.

Photo is old fashioned Jasmine rice, not the 3 minute stuff. Raisins are golden as store was out of regular variety.
