  • Patent number: 4720257
    Abstract: A campstove burner includes a burner box which is located above the burner pan of the burner. The burner rings are positioned between the burner pan and the burner box, and a fuel and air mixture within the burner box flows through the burner rings where it is ignited. Since the burner box is located above the burner pan, liquid fuel within the burner box will flow through the burner rings and will be ignited in the burner pan outside of the burner box. The burner box includes a cylindrical sidewall which surrounds an upwardly extending cylindrical central portion of the burner pan to provide an annular mixing chamber An opening is provided in the cylindrical central portion of the burner pan, and a fuel tube extends into the cylindrical portion of the burner pan and directs fuel flow toward the opening. Fuel and air flow through the opening, and a portion of the fuel and air is deflected by the cylindrical wall of the burner box back through the opening to promote mixing.
