Phoebus 725

Great looking flame. If you ever find out if the jets for the 725 are the same size and threading as the jets for the 625 and find a source of the kero jets, let me know.

Hi Stan

The 725 and the 625 are interchangeable, no problem with thread or jet.

I am sure I have read somewhere that a CCS member ( Russian ? ) makes the nipples.

I got an email from him a couple of days ago and he said due to work pressures he won't be making any more for a few months at least. Too bad, his work looks very professional.

With the number of these stoves out there, it's strange that no one has stepped up to the plate and made some for sale.

I wonder if anyone out there could try some of the more easily available jets, such as the Optimus ones, to see if they would fit.

I don't know why I can't edit my previous posting, I used to be able to, very annoying.

OK, this time I see the little edit button, can't figure our why it shows up sometimes and not others.

Anyway, the reason I wanted to edit was to say the guy in Russia's name is Markus, his CCS name is "russenjesus".

Edit has a timeout (can't remember the time period - something like 15 or 30 minutes)

Hi Stan,

1. Markus, Russenjesus lives in Bavaria, Germany.

2. Have a look at this thread, particularly the post from Kugler 77:

3. It looks like you will need a new, thinner wire, cleaning needle as well as a 0.32mm aperture jet if you want to adapt your Phoebus 625 to burn kerosene.

Hi Stan, I did some research on the CCS website. I now believe that the Op.111 jet fits the thread of a Phoebus 625 burner, however the jet can foul the cleaning jet as you screw it in, as the internal cavity of an Op.111 jet is not as large as that of a Phoebus no.625 jet.

Please can you measure up the internal dimensions of your Phoebus 625 jet?

Best Regards,
Kerophile.

 

Hi George, I added a picture of the inside of the jet to the Fettling forum, and the dimensions of the hole are 5mm wide x 6.68mm deep (depth includes the conical portion leading to the jet orifice.
