I had a very satisfactory second run with my new Accucraft K-27 this
evening. After problems with the butane filler valve, jets and pop
valve Wednesday evening, I emailed Cliff Luscher at Accucraft. He went
to the trouble to get my telephone number at work (he would have had to
make calls to the
I now have blue flames for all three wicks!

I'm afraid that if Tony has to remove any more fence or stucco to fit
the K-27, both his fence and house will fall down! When I brought my
C-16 to Tony's track for the first time, he had to chisel 3/4" out of
his fence and the pilot beam of the C-16 left "road rash" in other
places on his track.
Hi Gary,
Good idea, but we are in the Bay Area, and Jeff's K-27 is only about
1/4 mile from my track. Perhaps he can "run it in and debugg" it locally,
then we all hit the Oregon trail in the spring!.
Regards,
Tony D.

I've never heard of such a thing. And here I was, considering a move
to Canada. Forget it, buddy. :-)
Yellow may also signal the presence of sodium, which can be added
to impart a visible flame, as a safety precaution. Adding a
Hi Bruce

Hi guys,
What hasn't been mentioned, but perhaps should be, is the issue of the
quality of the meths. My only experience with US-made denatured alcohol is
the stuff in use at Diamondhead. It was terrible - high water content and
all sorts of other chemicals dissolved in it. Here, north of th
Not sure if this is kosher, but . . .
I now have nice blue flames.
Wrapping thin strands of copper wire around 15 strands of wick. I place
three bundles of wick in each burner. Flames were blue and long! Heating is
faster. Now to stop the overflowing alcohol. Probably need more wick
strands? Does
Arthur, your idea is excellant. Beats the heck out of poison or gunshot. (I

Gentleman Arthur,
Is there any other way to test a 9v battery other than with the tip of yer
tongue? I learn something every day!
I do have an electric wire around the pond which works but your idea of
voltage on the track is excellent!

Gentlemen,
All you high class engineers can't see the trees because of the
forest. Rodents? I got rid of rodents, a coral snake, 3 toads, one
cat, a possum, and a peeing dog. Those were the only ones that I had
time to see. How you do it? Easy. Just connect a 12VAC 1 amp
transformer to t
Thanks again Phil,
I run on my yard track (see url below).
I use a small round mirror on the end of a handle to view the flame.
Your description of high blue flame is what I thought should exist.
Now I have to find a way to make the flame assume the hot color!
My alcohol was dyed with two red drop
Gary,
Although your problem is now solved, have you considered trying the
firebrick wicks that was discussed on this list a while back? At the very least,
they're a lot of fun to experiment with.
To answer your question, I think (not sure) that in the reference section of
