RE: Baba 30 Heater

We have a Force 10 setup like Alan's. The P.O. installed a pressurized fuel
tank. This tank is pressurized with a bicycle tire pump.

Unfortunately, every time I've tried to use the heater, it resulted in giant
orange flames and black smoke. I'll admit my ignorance at making this work
right. I think it has to do with not getting the burner hot enough. The
instructions I have mention something about putting a cup around the burner
after lighting the alcohol.
