Albert,
Hello, The Little Injun stove insructions recommend kerosene. Although I think it would be diificult to light and keep up the pressure. One day I plan to try kero in a coil burner.

then your talking kero as the claim is made in the writing... But!, let me tell you, my experience with this stove is that its a waste of time.

I bought one quite early and found the thing to be no better then a candle when it burned.

I'd consider it a cheap knockoff of a real coil burner and the injun I have, has a small sticker on the bottom "made in Japan".

Because of this stove and the luck I seem to have with kero or petrol in it, I have been reluctant to purchase any of the other coils out there for fear of the same results.

On a good note, mine came complete and the tin looks in great condition.

Hello,
Georgi, The Taykit is a really well made coil burner as well as some of the Stesco brands. However, I have found stress fractures on both the Taykit and the Stesco. A little solder and they were back in buisness. They have a limit purpose and I wouldn't recommend them for a multiple day / night trip because they don't seem to be very reliable. But, for a day hike and the convience of brewing up they would work fine. I plan to take mine on a 7 mile day hike to brew up a hot drink for lunch. If it fails I still have the water to drink. They are a little quarky but, fun to use. So if you have a chance to pick another up for a reasonable price try another maker's stove.

I have never used my Taykit for a primary camping stove but on the occasions I do use it I usually have a nice blue flame within a minute or less. I know it works well at least up to 7000' as I have lit it at the high end of Tahoe-Donner. For design, utililty and dependablity it is on of my favorites. Gordon

Thanks again for the info on the taykit.

I've been eyeing both the taykit's and the Handi's that seem to popup from time to time. I'd seriously go for it if the price came in at a good number or if I could find any such specimen's locally.

I've been to the Antique malls and still have yet to find some of these classics around. Sure, I've found some deals and then again I've passed on some where the owner thinks he/she has a gold mine!

I guess it'll be a matter of timing and opportunity as long as the resources allow.
