NOTE: a newer series of videos supersedes this SERIES OF 3 videos which now is of HISTORICAL INTEREST ONLY! This series of 3 videos shows a combination technique for starting up backpacking stoves (in this series using the Primus MFS "Himalaya" stove) that can run on kerosene, traditionally a difficult fuel to burn. This uses a "chimney" (as seen in other videos of mine) to aid startup but now the addition of a method of "priming the fuel line" with a fairly easy to ignite fuel (Coleman fuel/white gas) that is pushed through by kerosene in the fuel bottle, the Coleman fuel assisting in heating up the generator prior to arrival of the kerosene. 

Part 3 shows the start-up technique using this method but now with emphasis on maximum fuel conservation.
