    Thats a very nice one - mine did not come with a storage bag. It had no silver meths' flask either - or is there a 'malty' variety of spirit in there. Must get me a nice traditional kettle soon...

    Nice!
    A nice # 12 has been on my wish list for quite a while, but, 'Oh, the postage'!

    Hi OGD, well spotted on the spirit "tin". It is a small stainless steel hip flask, which I use for priming alcohol:

    The storage bag is not British Army issue as the No.12 is already well protected with its stainless steel case. However it does keep the dust off and gives some scratch protection for remaining paint.

    Just a bit of fun.
    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Good idea for a meths container - I don't entirely trust plastic squeezy bottles for transporting highly flamable liquids... :)

    No. These are too small, and a different burner type than those used on a No.12 stove.

    Great looking stove, great looking case. The #12 has been on my list since I learned of it's existence, would be the perfect adventuring stove go with my diesel truck.

    The cost to get one over here makes me think my XGK and a bottle of kero is just fine, and would burn diesel in a pinch.
