BURNER FOR LIQUID FUEL AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH BURNER

The disclosure relates to a burner having a container for storing liquid fuel, a fuel inlet for filling liquid fuel into the container, and a fire outlet for fire from burning liquid fuel to leave the burner. The fire outlet may function as fuel inlet or a separate fuel inlet is provided. The burner includes a stopping mechanism and an actuator for controlling the stopping mechanism. The stopping mechanism is displaced by the actuator towards a first position, when the temperature of the actuator is changed from a relatively high temperature to a relatively low temperature. The stopping mechanism is displaced by the actuator towards the second position, when the temperature of the actuator is changed from a relatively low temperature to a relatively high temperature. The disclosure also relates to a method of operating such a burner and a funnel for a burner.
