    Here is my first purchased stove. When I went to the post office to pick it up, I stopped at the local thrift store and found the teapot, which is a perfect "topper" for it...which only cost $2.00.

    My next step is to see if it is operable. We'll see where it goes from there

    Any advice on "firing" this up would be greatly appreciated. I have reviewed the general instructions page on the instruction section. I don't have any questions, but that is due to my ignorance on what I should ask. :doh:

    It's a silent burner and it's missing a cap I believe. Other's will confirm I think.
    Nice kettle!

    I believe you are correct, Matukat.

    Hi Woodsy,
    You need two caps an inner and outer. There are pictures here on the site of the burner caps. A&H Packstoves sells them for $7 each if needed.

    This is not the same exact stove but has good pics of the burner

    Thank you Ray. I have been searching Basecamp and is appears they are sold out.

    It looks like I need a part number 4676 and a 4205/4197. I am not sure which of the latter ones I actually need, but I am still "researching. If anyone here knows, I wouldn't be opposed to doing it the "easy way. :lol:

    Base camp sometimes has the exact replacement part that will be marked Primus. They also have generic caps. The A&H also will most likey be generic. Send each an email and see what they say.

    Oops, the link I posted is to a 100 year old Primus that is differant then yours and mine. Sorry for any confusion.

    This Primus 5 link shows the caps if you scroll down a bit.

    Thank you, Ray.

    Now it is just a matter of finding the parts.

    I am still awaiting the parts from Basecamp, but I am anxious to get this stove "fired up" I am going to try to make an inner and outer cap following BernieDawgs instructions here.

    I am not sure how to post the link so if anyone has any advice, please post it and I will get to it later. I am headed to the hardware store and then my shop.

    Cheers,

    Woodsy
