I may be wrong but i don't think the you use the primer cup on the Simmerlite like you do on the Whisperlite. The Whisperlite has a wick in the primer cup and the Simmerlite does not. I belive you open the fule just enough for the burner to get wet and light the burner, you will have some flame up since the evaporator tube does not heat up in the same manner as the Whisperlite. Check out the instructions and see what they say. I own an Int. Whisperlight and got a friend a Simmerlite. The Simmerlite does not prime like the Whisperlite.
