Thanks again for the replies, this is a great tool and makes the Dragonfly much more enjoyable to use in the morning. |

Frenchy19: "butthead: "Yes, the cap adds an extra ounce or 2 of sintered bronze to heat up. Mark, I do have and use a few, 3 actually a 4 row and a 6 row that work very well on my Dragonfly/XGK2's/Firefly. Yet on trips normally do not use them, easier lighting and field service. In camps near other folks the silent caps are used. Midicap for the XGK2's and XGK Dawg for the Dragonfly/Firefly stoves. The 6 row XGK Dawg fits on my Dragonfly, the combo is exceptionally high heat output. The Dragontamer is a 5 row, I do not own one. butthead |

Did you let the prime burn all the way out? That is the key. It should be out, and only then re-light. Dragonfly with a silent cap About 3 minutes into the video I blew out the prime and re-light the stove. It is a long video with the full range of operation. Glad you found one because I-Materialize and Shapeways no longer print the caps. butthead |

The videos I've seen show removal of the plate before installing the tamer, but despite a preheat, I still get a flame fountain. Any help is appreciated. |

There is a learning a curve…it’s different than priming without the berniedawg cap. Once I figured it out it is much easier IMHO. T |
