lighiting and 520 gi pocket stove.

My Peak1 will singe whatever is in its "ring o fire" until warmed up. Biggest flare was a cold day and about a foot tall. Im sure with your experience you wont have any problems..

Im sure a 520 will behave similarly..

The 520/530 are a different beast. On your first light I would suggest an area that is not to flammable. And if you have a fire extinguisher keep it handy. These are things I seldom do. I would kind of keep a match near the the generator to help it heat a bit quicker. Flames 2 feet high are to be expected. well, maybe only 18 inches but they will burn your whiskers right off.

That sounds safer..Maybe a genny preheat would help?

Something bad happen?

You only had foot high flames when you fired up the catalytic heater? I find I need them up to my chin to get mine working good. Once they are running are pretty safe, as far as setting other things on fire. I have put wood shavings from my hand plane, less than .002 inch thick on it and they eventually char a little. Can even safely poor the fuel from a running one back into a fuel can. Just don't get them in an un vented area. CO poisoning gives a mighty big head ache. If you live. I know.
