How to modify a gas burner for winter use

Anyone who has used a small-sized gas cylinder with a removable burner knows that if, say, it is left in the garage in the winter, then lighting a cold burner is problematic.

The flame does not light up in the central nozzle, but burns in a circle. The gas just comes out and doesn't burn.

This is due to the fact that the cylinders use summer gas, which changes its properties when the temperature drops below zero.

To start using the burner, the cylinder must be warmed to room temperature.

But there is one more simple modification that will save you from unnecessary fuss and help you easily operate the burner in winter without warming up.

Refinement of the gas burner

You need to take a piece of copper wire with a diameter of 0.3-0.6 mm. Wind it around the match and remove it from it. Next, stretch it a little and you should end up with a small spring or spiral.

    There are many miracles in this world, but one miracle eclipses ALL miracles - if desired, a LIE turned into money becomes a MIRACLE. If I heat up the gas cylinder itself, which I do every time, the gas starts to burn normally - it’s just that the gas itself in the cylinder is out of season.
    Gas at a temperature of -30 and below, without the inclusion of SPECIAL components, will not burn.
