    I think that is what Berrnie is doing with his mini and midi caps. Give him a shout and have it yourway.

    123 for twenty bucks would tickle me.

    the 123 is the bomb
    speaking of the bomb

    all good
    for sitting around base the Coleman single is perfect.

    Got two 123s for 40. usd not long ago, one is a functioning 123 original and the other a 123r with a blown seal on the fuel cap...

    For non-backpacking applications my starting point would be the German Military Heinze stove - large capacity, very controllable but also powerful burner, pre-heater meaning no separate fuel for priming, comprehensive toolkit (except screwdriver - see below), funnel and burner control knob chained to the case.

    Put this in a stainless steel case with built in windshields like the British Military No. 12.

    Make the burner convertible between silent and roarer like some of the Korean stoves.

    Add a flint sparker to the pre heater to make it totally self contained.

    Add a screwdriver to the toolkit to be able to remove the slotted NRV (or change the NRV to one with a head such that you can use the existing nipple removal tool alreaded included in the kit).

    And then for additional flexibility, also have a dual burner version of the stove.

    Ooooohhhhh, luverly! He ain't heavy, he's my stove.....

    Cheers, Graham.

    Right now, it's a Prentiss-Wabers Dual Burner Auto-KampKook Kit (pre-1920's with wagon wheel knobs).....and once I get that, the single burner model.....ah how sweet they'd go with mine...

    (and then have the insane person from this thread to show me how to light it :roll: )

    Hi George, that would be what I'm hoping for!
    I ended up making my reply on your other post by mistake.

    Hi Matt, this "Frankenstove" uses the silent burner from a Primus No.4 stove, which is a 1.5 pint capacity stove, which uses a silent burner slightly smaller than that from a 2-pint stove.
    The Pr. No. 4 burner fits the standard Optimus No.00 or Primus No.210 riser tubes.

    The 2-pint silent burners have a larger diameter threaded portion and require a special adaptor to be mated to a 1-pint tank. There are several posts on such adaptions on CCS, such as :

    Best Regards,
    George.
