    that gets my vote as the most ugly stove to hit CCS.
    looks like a mash-up of several stoves,the black gunk is a nice touch--

    Hi mta the most unusual stove i have seen obviously a home made job, from a normal roarer burner pump from a donor stove the real mystery is what the tank was fashioned from possibly part of a shell case.
    Have you tried to fire it up

    I have seen ugly stoves but this by far rates a 10 on the scale of 1 - 10 for being the ughhhhh-liest.

    Bet you if it does fire up, that fuel will be gone in less than 5 minutes (if it you do get it to run).

    HI mta

    Well she sure aint the prettiest little stove on the shelf :shock: .but what a super little performer :clap: :clap: :clap: , never judge a stove by looks alone i say :thumbup:

    Is this a wartime stove made up from old parts lying about, people seem to forget Malta had to make do & mend when the crap was flying on all sides & did they have it bad, a stove like this would have been a lifesaver back then :thumbup: :D

    Great people ,great place , Malta GC sure earned its name :thumbup: :clap: :clap: :clap:

    Looks good to me. As long as it works and it looks to be working pretty good! Nice flames.

    Thanks mta, you've been showing many good stoves.

    By the way, I love the videos of the Big Mamma and papa stoves!
