Svea 123R with Camping Gaz Globe Trotter container

I managed to pick up a Camping Gaz canister for one of my 123Rs. Its a good combo.












Cheers

The Globe Trotter/123 combination is ideal.
I have always thought that Optimus should have offered something similar as an accessory to the 123.

 

That fits the 123r well, and useful pots to.
Well done.

Nice rig. That way you don't have to lug a bunch of empty butane cans out of the bush.
I was going for a similar set up for my 123, hoping to fit inside an Optimus Terra Solo. The catalog dimensions looked good, so I ordered it, but when I tried to put the base of a Svea123R inside the larger pot, the base rim of the stove was too wide, by 3/32nd''. I may have to break down and buy an $8 pocket gassy and isobutane can to fill the Terra Solo inside, just so I can gripe about gassies from experience, rather than prejudice.

 

@SveaSizzler

The gassie stove was with the pots - the old type with the piercing pin. I have it to the shop to re-sell and they gave me a discount.

The pierced-can ones looked like they'd leak if you looked at them sideways, let alone disassemble for the next day's move. The Lindal valve type is an improvement, maybe. But I'm still a white gas die-hard.

 

The pierced can ones actually seemed to work pretty good (I knew lots of folks who had them back in the day.) But once you pierced a can, it was mated to the stove until empty. You couldn't "disassemble [it] for the next day's move". The only "leaks" I recall were the fumes that escaped from presumably empty (and disconnected) cans when the day got warmer.

It will inside Primus Litech trek kettle (1l)

fit

 

@afoton, Cool. Could you also fit the Svea cup/lid inside?

 

I don't know, I have never tried.

 

Hi, there is a potential threat to storing a brass stove in an aluminum container:

Hi @SveaSizzler , according to this old thread the Globe Trotter pan set will also accommodate the Svea pan:

Thanks, @kerophile

I remembered reading your post; and was reminded of it by @kerry460. That's why I "insulated" my Svea from the aluminium.

I wonder how much this galvanic reaction occurs in a Sigg Tourist set up, when they are stored with the stove inside? Any takers?

Cheers

@kerophile Thanks for the heads up on corrosion issues. I did lose a GSI 4 Cup [stovetop] espresso maker to bad storage. A box of pool chemicals [chlorine or bromides for the spa] was placed on a shelf or two above camping gear. The roof of the shed leaked. Here in Arizona, it's dry so much of the year, that when it does rain, it tries to make up for it with a vengeance. The aluminum of the espresso was dissolved thru. One of my Svea cups got a little scarred, but is still serviceable. I now have an Esbit coffee spitter, but the GSI sat on top of the Svea perfectly, and had a shelf for a small enameled demitasse. Elegance in the field, it was. Alas...
On the march, a bandanna or washrag could insulate the brass stove from the Sigg's metal pots. [I recently acquired a Sigg Tourist] Probably get done to silence rattles anyway. I'll keep an eye peeled for the stray Gaz Globetrotter, now that I know what to look for.

 

I have allways learned not to store the Trangia spirit burner in contact with the pots, because of this. The same should happen with the small Svea 123-pot for those that do store it with the Svea 123.

With moisture, the problem should be a real issue, but I have never tried to provoke it.

 

I put my 123R in a Optimus terra pot set with H.E. on it and put a cleaning rag between pot and stove to keep it from rattling about and scratching pot. works perfectly as the sack keeps everything nice and secure.

 

I have used paper towels in the kettle with the stove. But that was only to stop the rattle. Now I see another good reason. Thank you @kerophile for the reminder.

 

I did lose both pots in my original Sigg Tourist kit to pinholes in the bottom. I think I had put them away wet. Forced me to purchase another Tourist -- which luckily was still commercially available in the late 1970s. Strangely enough, last year I found (and purchased) a used Sigg kit that was missing both parts of the windscreen.

I've been using my Globe Trotter, Svea and a Soto stove with the GT pot set. Works well. But yes, as has been mentioned, don't store the Svea in the alu GT pots for long periods as different metals react. I was down to my last GT canister, but have started refilling it as I just can't part with with old GT which has been everywhere with me since 1975. Lucky I hadn't thrown out the last one as they are unobtainable here in Oz.

 

@afoton what is the plastic tub that you have between the stove and the kettle? Seems to me that it would solve all the problems of corrosion between dis-similar metals. And you'd have a useful tub for mixing ingredients or collecting water when you get to camp.
