Hi ‘back at you’ Salvano! As a Brit who’s fettled quite a lot of stoves I’d say Swedish stoves have had the edge for quality overall. Of the British stoves Monitors haven’t thrown up problems for me, but Burmos certainly have - particularly the ‘96’ models (pump end cap poor soldering and pump tube cracks). The fuel tank of a Governor 2-pinter was riddled with stress cracks. Mind you, when it comes to stress cracks in fuel tanks the worst offender has to be the Optimus 9. The example I worked on HERE was badly afflicted and of the few examples of a rare stove I know of it seems to be a common problem. John
