Here is my Gilbert J. McCaul 2-pinter (equivalent in size to a Primus No. 5). "Paraffin Only/Made in England/M54". It has a rather curvaceous bottom: I replaced the "Primus" stamped release screw with an unmarked one. The filler cap is not stamped. This is the burner that came with the stove (unmarked). I fitted Korean-made "Unicus" stainless steel inner and outer burner caps. As it came: Fixing the dodgy stove leg meant that I lost the remnants of the original sticker. The riser has a deeply curved end to it, but I managed to get a good seal with just the spirit cup and one washer at the top. Up and running (with a generic Swedish trivet; the one it came with was a Companion trivet): This is a solid, well-made stove. Cheers Tony PS. This is the first time I've used @kerophile's recipe for GSR. I rate it Excellent! I now had a jar of the stuff ready for my next fettle. Thanks, George.
Hi Tony, i had never heard of a Gilbert J. McCaul stove before, so this is a first for me. A great fettle and photographic presentation and impressive flame shots. I’m glad that the GSR worked for you. Best Regards, Kerophile.
@kerophile There are a couple her on CCS; and at least one os from Ne Zealand, if I recall properly This one from @Lamp_Doctor (found in Australia): https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/mccaul.26932/ This one from @Robtz (found in NZ): https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/gilbert-j-mccaul.17011/ This one from the UK: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/gilbert-j-mccaul.832/ Cheers Tony
Here is an interesting link to Gilbert J. McCaul http://www.gilbert-mccaul.com/MCENG.htm The Company appears a fair bit in "case law" in Australia. I'll have to work out what the original legal case was about. Cheers Tony
