I was WRONG about the SOTO STORMBREAKER STOVE

The SOTO Stormbreaker is an excellent stove, but to get the best out of it, you need to follow the instructions. I had made a minor mistake by over filling the bottle.

Plus other Youbers who reported an INFERNO, may have been using the stove incorrectly. SOTO kindly gave me these tips to avoid issues and to get that lovely clean preheat that this stove is designed for. The STORMBREAKER avoids liquid priming which is messy and potentially dangerous like other liquid fuel (petrol style) stoves.

These are some starting errors:
1. The operator poured too much gasoline, (bottle too full), and there was not much air for compression, Thus, less pressure to push the gasoline out to the jet and to the burner head.
2. The operator did not pump enough to build the pressure required for the initial ignition.
3. The operator did not have the flame source right next to the burner head, ready after he/she turned the CD to "START" position.
4. The ambient temperature was so low and cold, it took some time to gain the temperature inside the generator.

I made this video to show best practice.
