Abstract
A burner system comprises a reservoir configured to store fuel, a filler coupled to the reservoir and including a fill port, a burn chamber coupled to the reservoir; and a shutter including a fill cap and a snuffer. The shutter is movable between a burn position wherein the burn chamber is operable to burn fuel stored in the reservoir and a fuel position wherein the fill port is usable to fill the reservoir with fuel.

A burner system comprising:
- a reservoir configured to store fuel;
- a filler coupled to the reservoir and including a fill port;
- a burn chamber coupled to the reservoir;
- and
- a shutter including a fill cap and a snuffer, the shutter movable between:
- a burn position wherein the burn chamber is operable to burn fuel stored in the reservoir;
- and
- a fuel position wherein the fill port is usable to fill the reservoir with fuel, wherein in the fuel position the fill port is uncovered and the suffer covers the burn chamber.
A method for operating a burner system comprising a reservoir configured to store fuel, a filler coupled to the reservoir and including a fill port, and a burn chamber coupled to the reservoir, the method comprising:
- moving a shutter including a fill cap and a snuffer between:
- a burn position wherein the burn chamber is operable to burn fuel stored in the reservoir;
- and
- a fuel position wherein the fill port is usable to fill the reservoir with fuel,
- wherein moving the shutter between the burn position and the fuel position includes moving the shutter from the fuel position to the burn position, thereby uncovering the burn chamber and covering the fill port of the filler with the fill cap.
A burner system comprising:
- a reservoir configured to store fuel;
- a filler coupled to the reservoir and usable to fill the reservoir with fuel, the filler including a fill port;
- a base plate positioned at least partially above the reservoir and defining a fill opening, wherein the fill opening is shaped like a funnel and configured to transfer fuel into the fill port;
- and
- a burn chamber coupled to the reservoir and configured to burn fuel stored in the reservoir, wherein the fill port is spaced apart from the burn chamber.
