I may have discovered the possible problem with my poor burning first try. I was using isopropyl rubbing alcohol - 91%.

I was in the store today and picked up a bottle of HEET as the stove video indicated. HEET is methyl alcohol. Stove lit right up, with very little priming I'm proud! I'll try the denatured alcohol next.

While my jet boil is still my first love, It's nice to know there are options that can be manufactured under almost any circumstances.

(Hmmm denatured - sounds like something from the "Last child in the woods" board, don't you think?:)
