- Attach two plasma canisters to the cold loop.
- Attach two plasma canisters to the hot loop.
- Attach one plasma, and one oxygen canister to the mixing loop.
- Run over to the Pump Control Computer and set all but the purge vents to OPEN/ON and set their level to 5
- Run over to the Gas Mixer Control Computer and set the gas mixture to 33 Oxygen 66 Plasma and set the output to 150KpA
- Turn all cold loop valves open, and allow it to run trough the system, do not forget to open the freezer bypass valve(s)
- Turn the combustion chamber pipes open, and slowly start building a fire.
- After roughly one to two minutes, open the vent and grab the RCD.
- Use the RCD to open one of the tiles with a red dot on it. http://i.imgur.com/7WzsjDE.png
Small notes:
- Once the combustion chamber looks hot, open the hot loop valves and allow it to heat the plasma.
- See a pipe burst? That's normal! It wont affect the burn in any way!
- Removing the tiles under and around canisters will allow them to live longer, try it!
- Never use OXYGEN or NITROGEN inside the hot or cold loop.
- Enable the PTL once you are above 100MW for maximum $$$$
Just want to be clear that you are trying to argue that this list is easier than "open 5 valves, grab 2 cans, and turn on a furnace"
EDITED TO ADD
hellburn
open no less than 10 valves
operate pipe computer, including needed canisters, and chamber settings; as well as RCD the floor
grab 4 canisters for the pipes
furnaceburn
open no more than 5 valves
operate furnaces, including needed char, and re-filling every half hour
grab 2 canisters for the pipes
So you open more valves, and grab more canisters
you also need to set up the pipe computer VS dragging a crate of char to a furnace and click-dragging it in
you also need to grab two canisters VS turning on a furnace
I will accept your argument that maintaining a hellburn may be easier than maintaining a furnaceburn.
But if you think setting one up is easier you are either trolling me, or have gone round the bend.

Just to be clear. I am responding to your claims that a hellburn is easier to set up. I am not trying to counter your claim that it produces more power (which it does) looks cooler (which it does) allows for the PTL (which it does) or is easier to maintain (I will save that debate for another day)
