Hi, Zelph,
Pretty cool. That's no small trick to get kero to burn in an unpressurized stove. Looks like a pretty clean burn too.
Anyone who has ever primed with kero knows just what a mess kero can be. Quite an achievement. Thanks for putting the Foster's pot in the photo. I couldn't tell how big it was until I saw the Foster's pot. Nice workmanship on the bail by the way.
I'll be interested to hear how the tweaking goes on this one.

Indeed! Keep us informed.
(Mind you, I used to use a kero room heater in the UK which burned cleanly … It's all in the vaporisation.)Cheers

the unpressurized simplicity would suit their philosophy(simplicity) better than the standard pressurised multifuel adaptor, whilst offering a fuel weight/volume advantage over meths and would gain a windshield.
