Optimus 111B on kerosene . Kjellis was very kind and sent me a 111 kero burner to make this possible! Flame looks orange but it is the lighting. Once dark it was pure blue.
@Billyboy It started to leak at the bottom of the riser tube. Not sure if I did not tighten it down enough, or if I need a seal in there.
Optimus Ranger 10 Following the instructions of 10-20 midi-pumps produced a very large flare up. After the kerosene burned off a more sane 2-5 pumps produced better results. Still too much orange....
Well, got the Veritas going in a more robust manner. I was not able to stop the leak at the riser without some anti-seize or teflon tape on the threads. Had it out tonight with a Primus 96 for comparison. First half-pint stove I own...so not sure how large the flames get on this one. I'll have to delve into the pictures other members have posted. I quite like the size of the 96...might have to look into getting a Manaslu 96. They seem to be well regarded around here. I was curious about how the 96 measured against a Svea 123 and Ranger 10.
Who said I was stubborn!!! I was determined to make the Burmos No.21, which basically fell apart on me (here), work properly. It did! I'll post the fettle later, but here are the flame shots: Small flame. Pumped to the max. Cheers Tony
Primus No.96 ... Same age as me. Just fettled back to life. I will post in the Reference Gallery when my computer is back on line. Cheers Tony
