<DIV> <FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>I have took my stove out to
clean up and see if I could make it work. It was in sad shape when I
bought the boat last year. It is a<SPAN
id=__#Ath#SignaturePos__></SPAN> Homestrand, Model 206 made in Larchmont,
NY. It cleaned up OK. It seemed to work like my old backpacking
stove. It needs to heat up before it starts mixing air and fuel
effectively. When I started it up it really flamed. Is this normal and if
so, are there any tricks so as not to burn the boat.</FONT></DIV>
