I've no idea in which sub-forum to post this question. Moderator please move if needed.
I'm experimenting with ways of cooking food during an emergency.
Yesterday I've burned lamp oil inside my rocket stove.
It worked. But the efficiency wasn't very good. Yellow flame instead of blue.
That's what my question is about. In case of an emergency not all fuels may be available. So now I'm focusing on burning liquid fuels of many types. Gasoline, diesel, petroleum, kerosene, olive oil, etc, etc.
Burning those fuels isn't that difficult. But efficiency is what I need help with.
I'm looking for multi-fuel burner that gives me a blue flame.
Less fumes, and more heat from the fuel.
If possible it has to be something small because otherwise it won't fit in my rocket stove. I prefer the rocket stove because it's stable, highly isolated walls and a skirted pot.
