Lytham Tiddler Stove Setup/Parts

In my troops storage room, I happened to stumble upon this Lytham Tiddler stove. It is made by Lytham Leisure Products in Lancaster, UK. It is a fairly old stove, my guess is about 20 or so years.

I am not quite sure how to work this little guy, but I am quite interested in how it does.

If anyone can tell me ANYTHING about this stove, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you could also post a set of visual diagrams with directions if possible, so that it will be much less painstaking in the setup process.

I would also like to know what kind of fuel and fuel bottle that this guy can work off of. THANK YOU.

These were certainly available as far back as the late 70's. These would fit the resealable cartridges (assuming the threads are still the same today) - once connected you opened the valve & lit the burner. There was also an adapter available to enable it to be used with the piercable cartridges. I don't think this model had a preheater that warmed the gas before feeding it to the burner so it is important to keep the gas cartridge upright to prevent flaring. It was very much a contempory of the Alps/Vango 7000.
The stove should be very simple to set up & use but given it's age I would be wary of valve seals & perishing of the tubing.
Lytham also made 2 lighter models the Titch & the Lightweight Titch.

Thanks a lot, Spiritburner.

The next night, I went to my garage and lit the stove up. It worked great! It was very easily adjustable and put out a good flame and simmered quite well.

I used an isobutane cartridge that was resealable. I found the adapter and hooked it up. It had no trouble piercing the cartridge.

I found no leaks in the hose to be found or seen, so thats good.

I had no trouble lighting the stove at all. Only one spark with a lighter and the stove was ablaze.

Thanks again for all of your info and precautions for this stove. I plan to use it often.
