    Interesting perforated annulus at bottom of burner. Thats the 2nd one seen recently on C.C.S.
    Alcohol is not always available &/or is criminally expensive in some countries.

    Thank you for showing.

    Nice find :)
    Is that type of preheating cup supposed to work without a wick or does it lessen the smoke and odour from burning cold paraffin gas using a wick indoors?

    What an interresting design.
    It's just like one of those catalyst(?) paraffin heaters so it would work very well against odour when compared to just putting a bit of cloth or paper in the cup.

    An open asbestos whick is a bit of a downer though but nowadays we have glass fibre =)

    Wow! That is a great Primus catalogue link.
    The catalogue is also downloadable as a PDF file.
    I will see about having a permanent link to it in the Catalogues library.

    I see you posted the link to Gunsoo's Monitor Regal, Tomi, a stove that is quite frequently found here in the UK. As you've said, the kerosene pre-heat device needs that outer sleeve/hood to work.

    I've pre-heated my Regal on kerosene successfully without any fibreglass wick in the cup but pre-heating with kero makes it an outdoor stove, since the smell when the pre-heat charge burns out is quite strong and would linger indoors!

    I agree with Trevor, that catalogue is a great resource.
