I have had this stove for a couple of years and I don’t know why I haven’t posted it before . Complete as far as I can ascertain . Runs really nicely . Its my default workshop kettle boiler . Festures in the Radius catalogues 1932 and 37 in the Gallery . Posting as documentation.
Stating the obvious as it's a Radius product, but very, very nice! Lucky it still has the original burner, running spot on. The backdrop gives a nice arty look to the photos.
One of my very favourite ones, the Radius 3. I have two nickel-plated ones and an unused brass one from (probably) a bit later. All have the older-style burner stem and the late'202/30a top ring. Bravo on this fine acquisition. One of the most reliable of all Radius (or any other) stoves. Radius No. 3
@Blackdog @abbahco1 Thank you gentlemen . I use this stove indoors as it is very «well behaved» . It is not quite like other «number 3s» capacity wise . The artistic backdrop is a fleece blanket thrown over the back of my workbench to hide the shocking mess of tools, rags , tin cans, scorch marks etc
@A A C Congratulations. Nice copy of Radius, with unusual trivet and burner, nicely presented. ( I'am fan of Radius ) Stanisław
@Stanisław Grajewski Dzięki Stanislaw All the Radius models in my collection are very well made and robust . I like their innovative burner designs . Cheers Alastair
@A A C Very nice stove indeed, radius brand stoves are one of my favourites the build quality is superb and i admire very much the lettering and logo's on there stoves, Even though the trivet is of pressed metal all the lettering and logo on all sections of the trivet shows what a quality stove you have, a great addition to your collection
Here is the No.3 at its day job, with my newly found Petromax coffee perculator . Makes really good coffee
Blackdog comments that it’s no surprise that a Radius product is superb. I have one which is a star performer, it’s No. 6. It is very powerful, with a flame control spoke and daisy wheel in black Bakelite or similar. I was given this stove about 10 years ago, a discovery from a dilapidated garden shed. If I knew how to post photos, I would send because I think this stove has unusual features and since I am ignorant in historical developments, I would welcome the comments of the wise authorities here.
@David Burnett See this link on posting photos, and if you like, have a try in the practice forum first. I'd love to see your Radius No.6, please add it to the Stove Reference Gallery with plenty of photos of details which may help others to give an approximate date and other information.
