K--

little confusion- with a penny stove- why would you need a separate priming pan?

after you fill it, just add a teaspoon ON TOP of the penny-

the alcohol on top both heats the alcohol underneath AND ignites the jets once vapor come out.

I know this works on the shorter ones I built....

the Trangia has a brass inner wall in the central chamber that conducts heat to the vaporization chamber... I know that it's fun to make the penny stoves, but it's nice to be able to extinguish the flame to preserve fuel...
