Has anyone purchased one of these and does it work? It is for a Russian 8R Clone and it replaces the Burner bell with This Silent One. Let me know if anyone has Tried or owns one Thanks ECHO1
I'm Not !! That is why I am asking. I do not usually deal with Russian Stoves. Why would you think I would be an Expert in This ?? ECHO1
@ECHO1 I tagged my good friend @gideon in the top of my posting - he is an expert in these Shmel burners - all in order to help you
could be done from shmell 2 burner with late main question is "whats for"... losting power - bigger thermal mass wind factor the only one reason is - use pt1 indoor but pt1 has too small tank capacity
Gieorgi, it would be used in a semi-enclosed area. is it worth the effort to Put on a silent burner. I own 5 Pt's and they work good and wanted to try this. But if it is just a Gimmick and not a powerhouse burner then it would not be worth it. I would just keep them all as Roarer burners.. Your thoughts?? ECHO1
I tried a Phoebus silent burner on my Optimus 8R and it didn't perform well. Too big of a thermal mass to keep hot. I think that would also be the case with this setup.
Echo, if you want a silenced Russian get a BernieDawg mini cap for the PT-1. You could use it on an 8R or 123 too. Also, the enders silent burner from a 9061 or 9060D screws onto the 8R and performs well.
Ray I have 2 of Gary's Silent caps and I love them !! I was just looking and wanted to know if this was a good product Thanks Ray !! ECHO1
I will hands down admit that my respect for Russian stoves like PT-1 and PT-2 (Ogonek) and the old Juwel family have grown considerably after @gieorgijewski was kind enough to help me get a PT-1 and 2. They might lack the finish and the name - but measured in efficiency and reliability - I have no problems in using both as some of my regular “Go To” stoves. That is also the reason why I am so happy (and proud) that @gideon made me a silence cap for my PT-2. Because I like and trust the stove.
Rickybob, More then I paid also. I was just looking into it . I like the Idea of the silent burner as I take it camping and hunting. the roar scares off the animals in the morning and the PT is small enough to put in my Ruck ( kit ) .So I might spring for it and see how it works. I was initially asking if anyone owned one but I have not had an answer yet. if someone has one I would like to know how well it works. if not I have the Bumble Russian stove with a silent Burner but again it has to fit into my kit Thanks ECHO1
imo - could be "good enough" main problems: 1. this versions need better preheating - especially in low temperature conditions -> deeper spirit cups - with/or spirit cups wind shield - below - -7C - use - tank preheater cup could be needed 2. "normal" pt1 is "one man pocket stove" with tank capacity and pot size limitation - shmell burner provoke to use larger pots - do not do that - it could generate too much heat in the tank in "long time burning" lower power - gives bigger (a little) fuel consumption - moore spirit for preheating 3. use stove with wind shield - very importand
Gieorgi Thanks All very good Information. I don't see a way to enlarge the spirit cup so 2 pre-heats should get it hot enough. I have a metal plate with a hinge same size as the PT outline so it works good and packs up good in my Kit. I think I will go for the Money and try it out. I have 4 others that will stay as Roarers and soon I will have 1 with a silent burner Thank You G for this good information ECHO1
if You think to get "good tool" - do not think about "twice preheating" use carbon felt or glass wire with thin brass tube as burner wind shield
Hi @ECHO1 Here is a post on making fibre glass “rope” wicks to be used on classic pressure stoves: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/making-up-some-spirit-cup-wicks.31218/ Best Regards, Kerophile.
Great Idea !! I have some Stove gasketing from my wood burner that should work just fine . I will give it a try ECHO1
