I have several burn spots in my coach & floor from a Fleischman 135/2 from a very dangerous spirit burner, I tried several different ways to get it to perform as designed....from half full to barely anything in it....same eventual result, it would at some point erupt in a ball of flame ! (the vent was not plugged)

My other 135/2 burners have always worked fine... not this one!  :D

Kind of hard to grab it out of the engine when the vent is squirting flaming alcohol on your hand  :D

I always run them with the firebox door open as a lot of fumes come out that vent and my first 135/2 had lost all its paint around the firebox door hole and was rusty from it.

Haha I switched to the Bix burner for the second run. Can you imagine being a little kid and watching your prized toy engine go up in flames  :o :o

I find a silicone rubber tube about a foot long on the vent tube will evacuate alcohol fumes and dribbles far enough away to avoid extra unintended combustion!

Seems like alcohol can get you into trouble whether you are burning it or drinking it.
