This series of related videos starts with Part 1 showing how adequate pre-heating of the generator by means of initially burning a small amount of easily started Coleman fuel results in a seamless transition from that fuel to kerosene burning. This is demonstrated on multiple backpacking stoves. The method used here is somewhat impractical in this experimental model, but provides valuable data.
