A new Manaslu 96 (2014) The bag: The stove: The burner: I do not understand the Japanese text on the spirit cup. Maybe it stands "Do not drink " No doubt this is a Manaslu: "304" There is a mesh inside the riser tube, I have never seen anything like this on a swedish stove: The tank: "Manaslu 96" "QUALITY PRODUCTS STOVES MADE IN JAPAN" Tank lid: The reserve lid works as pump knob:
Not that many pieces as a Primus 96: Details on the tank: Under the tank, its stamped "304", the same number as on the burner: Flame ring: Windscrean: Size comparison From left to right: Høvik verk Primus 210, Manaslu 96, Primus 96 From left to right: Manaslu 96, Primus 96, Optimus Svea 123r The first priming flame: And full throttle:
Hi, afoton, WOW! DOUBLE WOW!! AND TRIPLE WOW!! That is one excellent stove, and very well worth owning and using!! I've love coveted one of those, and may soon have to break down and plunk down the cash to buy one! Thank you for sharing this, and hearty congratulations on your excellent Manaslu stove! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
I am also seriously tempted to buy one now. I've thought about it now and then. It solves the problem of the 96's and related half-pinters, which in my view have too many loose parts to reliably serve as backpacking stoves, as opposed to roadside brew-up stoves. I see that Basecamp says it's out of stock. Are there other sellers?
No left hand threads on my Manaslu 96. It is lightweight, not as light as my Svea 123R, but the lightest I have burning parrafin.
