Andrew Skurka uses the Starlyte to prepare his meals, he’s got tough fingers to be able to pick the

pot up  He must be awful hungry :

In another thread someone wanted to know the color of the material inside the Starlyte. I can show you a recent photo of it provided by a member in that thread. If you look closely at the material you might be able to see that the majority of the fibers are going in the vertical direction towards the stainless steel screen. That feature is what we want in an alcohol stove. Capillary transfer of fuel is in the upward direction, that is what we strive to provide in a high quality stove.

The color you see in the photo is the same as when the stove/burner is new. Never white.

Caution, do not use the lid to snuff out the flame. Never over fill the burner.

The Starlyte also comes in a container with screw top lid:

Dan,

I have a regular Modified Starlyte with plastic cap but really like the screw top on the Gold Starlyte that I have. Would it work the same as your new Modified Gold Starlyte if I installed a simmer ring on top of the screen? Or should I try and pull the screen out and put the ring under the screen? Thanks!

Jimmyjam, I don’t recommend removing the screen from the Starlyte Gold. It’s difficult to reinsert it with out a lot practice and may deform the container/threads. I have a lightly used one I can send you just pay shipping charge of $4.00 send me your email in a PM so I can get your mailing address from my records.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks Dan!!!</p>

Glad to be of service 

@Dan_Y – had a bit of a “meltdown” using the Starlyte-gold under the 550 cone. I assumed because it was shorter and had the reduced aperture, it would be ok. Seems it got too hot, melted the glue, and flamed out around the seam opening. I put a sheet of aluminum foil with the right sized hole in it over the top and things came back into alignment. I may try resealing the seam under the screen. Is there a particular adhesive that will survive the temp?

The next batch I’ll try sealing with this high temp silicone sealant and see how it holds up inside of a cone. My testing prior to introducing the Modified was 3 tests under a pot, no windscreen. I’ll refund your money. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Dan_Y no need to refund, we’re good. Things like this happen when we’re messing about. It’s part of the experimentation curve. I think I have some permatex silicone for engine work…that’s a good idea. 😎

When I tested mine with my Caldera Cone and 600 pot I noticed a yellow flame coming up one side of the pot, even though I I had the stove centered under the pot. It shows on the pot as well. Wondering if the same thing happened to mine? Nasty smell too, but it was its first burn, so I figured that was normal.

I just checked the screen, and it still seems to be in place and all, though whatever sealant was there isn’t now (I saw the sealant before I did the trial burn). Should I reseal with the permatex, or just not worry about it?

And, like John, I don’t want a refund, I’m good, just need to know if I should seal or not worry since the screen is still in place. No harm, no foul as far as I’m concerned. Thanks.

Doug, sorry for the inconvenience :-(.

1st burn has a smell to it, a little like bacon :-) (I wish)

The screen will stay in place without sealant. The sealant was to prevent vapor from escaping around the perimeter of the reducer ring.

If your Caldera Cone has a cutout for the handles on your pot, that is what causes the flame to go off center. If your cone has incoming air holes on one side only, that will cause the flame to go off to one side opposite the holes.

I’m not 100% sure the Permatex is going to seal it without problems. I ordered some today for the next batch in hopes it will resolve the problem. My future tests will be under a cone ;-)

I’ll issue a refund anyway :-)

Created a simmer ring to fit the Starlyte burners and the Starlyte Gold, take a look:

Bad things will happen if you abuse your burners by over filling and snuffing out the flame with lid. This is a photo of the burner returned from TD requesting the burner be replaced free. One thing led to another and I severed relations with them. Bad things happened ;-)

The simmer ring is very cool!

Thanks John, here are some photos
