    Got myself a nice Radius No. 46 stove today. Are they any good and what fuel is best to use?

    Its a great little stove - it runs on White spirit/Coleman Fuel/ “clear petrol”/panel wipe and similiar names.
    Not suited for Kerosene/paraffine or alcohol/Meth. Spirits.

    Beware that the safety valve in the filler lid is operational before use. If old they can be stuck - or just leaking pressure.
    A pic or two would be nice ;-)

    Congrats on your stove!

    Be very careful. They breed like cats. You take one stray in and before you know it they are everywhere and very needy. That is a fine stove, check your seals, fire it up and give us flame shots. You will be looking for excuses to use it.
