they don't quite work like that. It takes a certain amount of heat to vaporize the alcohol in order for the jets to work. Play around with it, they are cheap and easy to make. There are people making alcohol stoves with simmer rings that kind of allow you to simmer. I've made dozens of these stoves and love yo mess around with them, but for simmering a valved stove works much better.
