This fine stove was on my doorstep last evening. There was no spring in the NRV, and the tanklid and pumpnut o-rings were cracked. Quick run to the hardware store. Picked up a couple o-rigs and a couple small stock springs. Back home got the sping that fit best and kept cutting a little bit off until I was able to freely pump air into the tank. Put the new o-rings in place and cleaned the jet, burner and inner and outer caps. one rinse of tank and fires her up. Pics are from this afternoon. Think I got the photobucket thing right. nice simmer in strong breeze full speed ahead! pot on the burner. oooh so nice! the steam escapes hard rolling boil Thats it for now, had to fettle my camera as the battery door broke a couple weeks ago. Duct tape to the rescue!. The flames look much more impressive in darkness. WIll try for a shot later. Hal
Hi, Hal, Excellent photos, and a wonderful job of getting that Enders back up and running again!! Well done, Lad! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc Mark
Yup, well clever. A couple of running repairs and it's set for another round 8) It's easy when you know how 8) Thats a bit of kit I want at some point...
HI hal2u I am the same as you and love enders9061. 9061 can do the setting by very absorbed the structure, too and synchronizing with the movement like the tank, the burner, and the tripod, etc. at the same time as opening the case. It is a very excellent mechanism by which I am selfishly calling this an one action setting. The person who saw this movement once falls victim changeable eyes that see the stove of this ..be surprised of everyone.. to this stove. It is happy again. Combustion burns to the burner quiet, powerful, gentle with the silent pictures burner, too. The lever for the chip cleaner is attached next to the valve wheel. It goes out while pulling the valve wheel. As for the stove, it is heavily heavy and making is also very good. Regards Motoshi
Hi Rik Yes, Trangia kettle is used. I chiefly have it in sea Cayakking. Phoebus725, Enders9063, and Optimus99, etc. are chiefly used in sea Cayakking. The jet boil is used well in the gas. It doesn't have an alcoholic stove of Trangia. Regards Motoshi
Hello Motoshi, Great pictures. You certainly have 3 fine examples of this stove. I agree watching them open and close can be hypnotic. Very well engineered piece of equipment. They are not too hard to work on. Good going on making yours work so well. A bit heavy for long backpacking trips, but I am sure I will pack mine in for an overnight campout or two. Is that a M-1950 stove in the background of the first picture? That is one stove also on my wish list. Best to you. Hal
Hi Hal Yes, it is M1950 of SMP. And, I have M1950 of Coleman. The left is a copy of M1950 with MANASLU of Japan. Regards, Motoshi
Hi Alan, If you were refering to the Enders, I have only seen the silent burner on this model myself. I may try to experiment and fashion a flame spreader to replace the silent burner caps. Should be interesting. What's the worse that can happen? My eyebrows, moustache, and nostril hair could use with a trim anyways! 8) Hal
HAL2U--what is that stove in your avatar??? fold-up sides to make a pot stand-- silient burner with a vaporizer loop over it--a few full size action shots would be a treat---
Hello Dave, My avatar pic is of my Sigg Firejet, a fine working "multi-fuel" stove. I have only tried kerosene in it once without much success. It was a very windy day and i couldn't get it primed hot enough resulting in big yellow balls o'fire whenever I attempted to turn it up. Supposedly you don't need a jet change to switch fuels, just slide an air oriface wide open for kero and closed position for coleman fuel. It burns great on Coleman fuel, and I will try again for the kero burn on a less windy day using a proper windscreen. Pics will be posted when I get my camera squared away. Hal
Hi Hal I'd be sparing in running your Firejet as I understand Sigg stopped making any spares a while back. Regards
Probably a piece of German kit, then, eh ? Vorsprung Durch Teknik ! and all of that. They do know how to engineer quality gear, I'll give them that, and their beer ain't bad either ! They did, however, manage to lose a lovely Holdworth Mistral 531 touring bicycle of mine, off a train from Frankfurt to Luxembourg in 1978, so that's a black mark ... (oops ) against our World Cup hosts. Spudz
Hey, Hal, (Hummm, sounds like I'm talking to the computer in "2001, A Space Odyssey"!!) I think the Sigg Firejet is a fine little stove, for what it is. It folds up smaller than any similar stove, burns relatively hot, is stable with any pot you'd care to use, and works well. It does not simmer, however, which puts it out of contention for a top spot in my heart, as simmering ability is one thing I usually ask of my stoves. But, it's a finely designed little stove, and again, works well. I have used mine with Coleman fuel, which worked perfectly, and also kerosene, which also worked perfectly, but stood a little more priming to get it running right. Call it two primes, with Meths, and then fire it right up! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc Mark
