I'll kick it off, cos we get the weekend first here in good old Enzed! Boiling up water for my nightly Lapsang, at 0030! Hope I sleep after this. (cup of tea contains 50 mg of caffeine, filter coffe 250 mg, single espresso: 35 mg. An espresso is my usual nightcap since that discovery). And cos it's for Spudz, some cherry: Cheers guys, looking forward to your pics! Tom
Great photo's Tom Keep 'em comming! '81 in the back ground I see. WooHoo With the stove in the pot do you have to clean it out first before you use it?? Does everything taste a bit car fumey. Or do you get a required taste after awhile ??
Hey, Keith, Yahoo!!! What a little beauty, and well worth maintaining it's virginity!!! Great to see an English Lad with proper common sense in that regard!!! 8) 8) If you want a user 123, I may be able to dig one up for you. Have to go down into the catacombs of the Hobbit Hole and see what I've got. But, I got some goodies to send to Bruce today, and may well have a 123 that I can send your way. May need a bit of work, but it should be complete. Let me know if you want me to check for you. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc Mark
This Count??? It was all Ians Idea!!! Running on petrol. Run out of Shellite. Does boil billy but gap to high from burner plate. Yes fits inside the pan set nicely. Best I could do for 1/2 an hr at 4 in the morning!! At Least its the right Burner!!!! 8)
Nice Bruce, but, be careful, if I remember right, Chuck blew a 123 when he used it with the Trangia enclosure, got to hot in there
"Here's a virgin . . . and the answer is no ! . . . . . . I'm keeping my eyes out for a 'user' " Aren't we all! Maybe we're not talking about the same thing.
Hi Keith I have one exactly the same - lovely isn't it?!!! (no way I am going to light it) Fortunately I have other used ones for this weekend. David S and myself will be posting photos. |imgRemoved| Oops! Don't know how that slipped in.
"David S and myself will be posting photos. " This is getting weird. It's Friday afternoon and I'm bored at work. Tonight the winter expo at Midwest Mountaineering. http://www.outdooradventureexpo.com/200611/Index.html I'll return to normal after tonight.
All this talk of virgin stoves is making me feel guilty. I've only used my SVEA about 6 times. Is it a Semi-virgin? I don't have enough self control to not light a stove. Manny

I JUST SCORED AN OLD BEATER ON EBAY, NOT EVEN SURE IF IT'S A 123 OR NOT...HOPE IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE PAKCOOL KNOCKOFFS..WAS ADVERTISED AS PRIMUS...I DON'T THINK IT'S A 71..HOPEFULLY A SVEA 123 AND THE SELLER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT WE'LL SEE, BUT I FIGURE FOR 25 BUCKS I CAN'T GO TOO WRONG THERE... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190049920707&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1
