A gravity fed, alcohol stove which works on a slightly different principle to other stoves from this manufacturer. The fuel feed tube travels across the top of the burner rather than beneath. On this model there isn't a line of flames underneath the burner to keep it hot... Despite appearances, this stove works rather well, although I wouldn't like to rely on it for more than the odd cup of tea...
As far as I'm aware, Paul - it's as it arrived here and doesn't appear to have been repainted at all...
Greenhouse? - that's not a greenhouse! It's an anti excessive climatic air movement stove testing facility...
David, I have the same Turm 144. However mine burns with a little less enthusaism. Mine is the same colour or color. I found that it burns a bit better if you leave the cork out. Chuck
Currently I've mislaid the cap from my fuel tank so that's not a problem! The cap should have a small hole in it to allow air into the tank to replace the fuel as it flows out. Possibly yours is blocked, Chuck - just a thought...
Spot on David, same as the Turm Sport models. I had again started using a Turm to make my early (05:30) brew next to the computer, but the wife said although she didn't mind me burning the house down, with a baby grandson in the place I should grow up and use a kettle like normal folk
On April 1st (no significance there, surely!) this year, I decided to see how long I could go without using an electric kettle at home. To date, I've used it only once - the morning of the local elections when I had to open my Polling Station at some unearthly hour. Originally, I was using a British Army No. 6 (The Amazing Growling Stove) but the noise of it got worse and worse until it scared even me, so currently I'm using a nice little Veritas silent... One day, I'll eventually complete installing my new kitchen and this sort of thing will have to stop I suppose... :frown: BTW - it's currently running very nicely on half-price Wilkinson's barbeque lighting fluid - thanks for the tip, Rik! 8)
I am sure it is, I have the same model. This is not very common, most tanks are brass or nickel plated steel. This stove is not a top design, as many similar models. Very weak frame, only suitable for a cup of tea as David said, nothing for a heavy pan.
