Starlyte Gold Alcohol Burners

[DAN-Y]

How is veryone enjoying the screw on lids of their Starlyte Golds and Trojans?

I recently got an email from a customer and said he was switching to a regular Starlyte with plastic cap so he doesn’t have to contend with sand getting in the threads. He hikes the sands of the Grand Canyon.

New thread started, old one was locked off.

They look like this:

Hi Dan, did you ever solve whatever issue people were having with the first batch?

I don’t see the Trojan, am I missing it on your website?  I just bought a gold, it’s in the mail, looking forward to trying it out.

Was this a different stove? Sorry if it was.

Doug, it was the “simmer” version with a reducer ring under the stainless mesh covering. I used “super glue” to seal around the outer edge and it failed. When it failed, it burned just like the “regular” Gold.I resolved the problem by using high temp silicon gasket seal. I got so busy with other stuff I was designing, I never made a batch big enough to offer to everyone. :-(

Thanks Dan, my mistake. If you ever do make more of them with the silicon, please let me know.

Thanks Dan, my mistake. If you ever do make more of them with the silicon, please let me know.

I’ll check in my boxes of stuff to see if I can find the ones I made. I’ll get back to you today.

Last call on these burners with screw top.

I hope he finds one for you, Doug.  Once Dan got the seal sorted out it turned out to be a great little stove.  It’s my “go to” these days.

If I find a used modified prototype you can have it. Life has been complicated these last few months, totally busy and no one to help mind the store. 

[BlackHatGuy]

No worries Dan.

This is the one that will be coming up soon:
