I got one of those single Coleman burners…I think the one you’re talking about, JamesM. From thrift store but never got it to work. Not sure if it’s ‘operator error’ …tho they are simple. I tried looking it up on Internet and [long time ago] I seem to remember it has a reoccurring problem that matched what I was seeing. I guess it’s shoved in a corner somewhere around here.
Anyway…I’m at WELL above 4K here. This thin air does change things! We have to use extra means just to start charcoal! Currently, I use a thrift store purchased hair dryer. [Dedicated use for fire starting only…not on wet hair!] An engineer taught me that! lol Waving a paper plate just didn’t get it done. Good solid air flow did. Without electric, I’d try to use one of those metal towers you put the briquets into. Haven’t actually tried it but I’d hope it would work. Or just do the usual for wood fire and add briquets …if I still have any. Don’t store but a few bags.
OldMtWoman …many many ways for fire
