I don't understand your question. That's how they all work but you are missing the part where they light your house , gear , hand or picnic table on fire

Probably needs to heat up more before you put the pot on

the airflow is not right. punch a third row of holes or even a fourth one

they're supposed to be like that, but you have to get the alcohol boiling before you put the pot on so the vapor comes out the holes and ignites.

You need to blow on hobo stoves to get them to temp.

No sure if bait

Alcohol stove != hobo stove
From my experience the rolltop alcohol stove design needs smaller ports than that or else it's going to take forever for it to get hot enough to put enough pressure and prime the side jets
