Would a Sterno fuel can work on pccasion?

Yes and so will the Trangia alcohol burner. Realize though the up draft will get very vigorous. I strongly suggest you find a tin can to place in the throat of your rocket stove, to elevate your burners, to prevent the rapid consumption of the fuel, Sterno or alcohol and prevent it blazing like a blowtorch. It will believe me. Point is, find that sweet spot for the flame under your pot or skillet. Added bonus, your fuel last longer. To give enough air for your fuel, pick a can to set your sterno or trangia, that is small enough to allow the draft to still work. Or if you like, weld up a little platform to fit in the throat of your rocket stove. Have fun.

It works fine with fuel for two stroke engines. I installed one on my boat with a two stroke merc outboard, and it works great!

No sorry that wouldn't work. You need something like this - http://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Butane-3807-Fuel-42gm/dp/B004K9IJ8M/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403467800&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Butane+can+refi%3B%3B

The flame from a sterno can will be too close to the bottom of the pot to work properly. The fire compartment is just over three inches in circumference and about two inches high. Use the fuel tablets.

I am told by my mother (circa 1948) that the Sterno Fuel is "jellied alcohol" and when burned the gas given off is CO2 and H2O. I have never used the "direct flame" cooking method but I would think it would be OK. I use Sterno to boil water and heat foods in a small pan. lg

Sterno doesn't use a wick. The fluid burns directly from inside the can. The shape and size of the opening dictates the flame size.

I don't think so. By a pack of new fuel cells, they come with an adaptor for old guns. See if the adaptor will let you use your old cells on the new gun. Sorry I couldn't be more positive help.

Yes, they will, but the amount of time it takes depends on the ambient air temperature, how windy it is, and the temperature of the water / food you are trying to heat. To get it to work, and to work relatively quickly, you will need some kind of camp stove (the Sterno brand of folding camp stove is excellent). Put the fuel can inside the stove with a sleeve of aluminum foil wrapped around the fuel can so the heat will be channeled to the bottom of the pot you are using (leave some space for air to get to the flame). Cover the pot with some kind of lid (the one it came with, or a piece of aluminum foil). All of this will keep the heat concentrated, and sooner or later your water will come to a boil. For example, if the day is 80 degrees and you don't have much of a wind, and the water isn't very cold to begin with, it should start simmering in 5 to 10 minutes. If the day is 50 degrees and windy, and your water is cold, it could take 15 to 25 minutes for the water to start simmering. Once the water is simmering, it will start boiling a few minutes later. In an earlier reply, someone recommended using a butane canister type of stove. Some of my camping partners use these, and they work very quickly. I do not use one, however, because I have seen them have problems with the valves and other parts on the stove, and I do not like the thought of having a pressurized can of flammable gas strapped to my back. I prefer having a source of cooking heat which does not have delicate parts, and which will not explode inside my pack, even though it means I will have to wait longer for my water and food to get hot.

There is only a threaded standoff on the tank, you will need to find the proper fuel connector to thread into it for your application.

Why not? As long as it's not pouring rain or gusty winds, there shouldn't be a problem. (And, if it is pouring rain or gusty winds, keeping the Sternos lit is probably the least of your problems :) Go for it and enjoy~

Yes regular sterno fuel I start with hot water and it stays very hot. I love mine. I have 3 of them

this pump should work. Caution you must mix your gas with 2 cy oil. I do not know what rato to use.

Yes. We usually do this to bring it up to temperature and use the sterno heat to maintain it afterward.

According to weber, no.http://help.weber.com/faqs/5/can-i-convert-my-grill-to-run-on-a-different-fuel-typeThere could be 3rd party conversion kits available, but i do not know of any specifically.

yes but this is a terrible fuel pump. Mine only worked for about 2 months. There must be a reason its so cheap.

based on my experience I highly doubt you can light these with a portable sterno can. I had to leave the cubes on direct flames from BBQ for a few minutes before they were ready.

This will work pretty much on all SBC that use a distributor, even your 383 stroker. And you can always up grade the module too.
