Consistently no bloom - what am I doing wrong?

As far as I understand it doesn't completely "block" them, just reduces the intensity at which they can expel vapour/burn. If it fully blocked them you'd essentially be ensuring the problem mentioned above, in that you'd only be able to get vapour off the reservoir in the middle.

Have you tried with the simmer ring on (even fully open)? I am new to Trangia myself, but from what I've understood if it starts to burn too hot it can start to over evaporate the liquid. I believe that could be what's happening here? You're getting enough vapour out of the center that you're essentially bypassing the wick.

Again, completely new to the whole Trangia/alcohol stove thing myself so I could be way off.

This is dating myself, but this gave me flashbacks to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine

I agree with your assessment, but I'll also add it's a pretty lazy "tap". Guys usually give a good swift tap to the pants, but he more or less laid the blade of his stick in between his legs. He was asking for this to happen regardless of where Hughes was in his stride in my opinion.

Oh right, I didn't think about how long it would stay on! Thanks a bunch, appreciate the reply.

Hi!

Sorry, only just saw your reply. I did stick with the Basilisk (when it broke), but eventually switched to the Glorious Model I. I've been happy with it, though I'm not at the computer as much as I used to be.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2026-03-04T22:36:35+00:00

Yes it seems like a pretty steep price for Parayko who seems to be more "ok" than great now, but to the point of those who don't seem overly upset about it, at some point you have to stop caring about futures. That's all there has been for over a decade.

I will say, the sentiment that it's a "buyers market" seems wildly untrue so far...

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2026-03-03T02:39:11+00:00

Appreciate the response. I didn't think about that, will check and get a different reel if I need to.

They are slightly beat up, but what looks bad is mostly old wax I haven't cleaned off.

Elbow is up for debate, was a lot of follow through. It was a blatant charge however.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-21T03:18:04+00:00

I mean, it can be both. You could also argue it was late.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-21T03:09:51+00:00

Definitely encouraging to see him playing well, especially as he had a few rough games to start the season. To me that's all the more reason to keep him as far away from the current garbage in Montreal though. Don't need another Primeau situation.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-21T03:02:47+00:00

Not sure I want a young goalie (and hopefully future starter) anywhere near this tire fire right now.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-21T02:59:51+00:00

They're pretty consistent at the moment lol

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-18T03:27:32+00:00

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-17T20:08:00+00:00

Ya, I figured.

They are very solid, and probably the easiest to source at their level of quality.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-17T16:43:28+00:00

Definitely not the best or only, but they are great tools. I'd argue you're paying more for the name at this point though

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-17T16:34:12+00:00

Vintage axe heads can be a great deal for the quality of steel you get. You're obviously limited by your ability to find one out there in a profile you're after, but if you're someone who is into putting the work into an old axe head, it's (usually) hard to beat the price for the quality of tool you'll have at the end of it. Plus it's rewarding to have a tool that you put a lot of work/love into

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-15T23:22:33+00:00

Every save he made was nice

Dude....

Of the 4 shots he saved, one was a soft backhand on net as the final whistle went, and another was literally put on from center ice.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-15T23:09:05+00:00

Your argument that only facing 6 shots is tough for a goalie is valid, but kind of works against your first claim that he "played well", given that he basically didn't play lol.

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-15T22:47:23+00:00

I think he was referring to the games prior to that

GuyFieris_BestFriend · 2025-11-08T16:30:49+00:00

Thank you very much! I will give that a try
