Hi John, I've grown to love (or at least respect) my Hillerange pressure OH stove. The key is to heat the delivery pipe that runs over the top of the burner without setting the boat ablaze. My usual procedure is to open the valve, look for liquid (small amount) in the pan below the burner then close it off. Ignite, then watch as the flames start licking the cabin liner. The breakthrough for me (many years ago) was the realization that a pot of water on the burner cools and contains the flame and makes everything manageable until the flame has just about died out. When it does, open the valve again, the preheat pipe vaporizes the alcohol and a beautiful controllable blue flame takes over. Works great for me and I'll keep mine until I want to mess with propane, solenoids, gas detectors and the like. Added bonus: Ethylalcohol works great for removing butyl.
