Not literally but I've followed the instructions to the letter about not overfilling the fuel bottle, applying 25 strokes to the pump to build up the pressure and flipping the bottle over when I've finished cooking so that the pick-up pipe is sucking air not fuel and according to the manual:
"The flame should go out after a few minutes depending on which fuel you are using and how open the control valve is.
To release the pressure in the fuel bottle faster, you can let the stove burn at full throttle. It will take about 30-40 seconds for the flame to extinguish, and another 30 seconds for the remaining air to seep out."
If by "a few" minutes they mean "about 15" then these instuctions are spot on. If, on the other hand the flame should die out in 3-4 minutes or 30-40 seconds if I turn it up to maximum then what am I doing wrong? I tried the turning it up to full blast trick and it still took 15 minutes for the flame to go out after eventually dying down to a sooty yellow flame. At this rate, to cook anything all I need do is ignite it then turn it straight off.

Does anyone else have one of these and how long does it take to go out? Are there any tricks I should know about to get it to go out faster under its own steam without me manually turing it off and leaving the fuel in the system under pressure?
