Can I turn the fuel canister/bottle upside down?Updated 2 months ago

When you turn the fuel canister/bottle upside down on a stove designed for inverted use, you're allowing liquid fuel to flow into the stove. Liquid fuel has a much higher density than gaseous fuel (about 250 times higher). This means there's a lot more fuel packed into the same volume.

The key to using the inverted fuel function correctly is to always start the stove with the fuel canister/bottle upright. This allows the fuel to vaporize before it reaches the burner. Only after the burner and preheating components are thoroughly heated should you invert the canister/bottle (if your stove is designed for inverted use).

Here's why this is important:

• Upright Canister/Bottle (Starting): With the fuel source upright, the stove receives gaseous fuel. This results in a controlled, efficient burn.
• Inverted Canister/Bottle (After Preheating): Once the stove is hot, inverting the canister/bottle allows liquid fuel to enter the preheating system (if your stove has one and is designed for inverted use). The heat from the burner then vaporizes the liquid fuel before it reaches the burner nozzle, ensuring a clean and controlled burn.
