Found an interesting stove

Definitely a rare stove over on this side of the pond.

Excellent find!!!

 

David I knew I'd find you here!

 

Nice find David.

Just remember to unscrew the filler when stored otherwise you will end up with a tin full of fuel.

Yes...that's nice.
Now which side of the pond are you?

 

I'm in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon

 

Yup its me! Lol

 

The best advice of all!! Incontinent little sods is what they are

Alec.

 

Why is it that so many of the kerosene fueled devices suffer from this? It's not like a positive fuel shut off is that difficult a piece of technology.

 

I guess in 1895 they thought it unecessary and never bothered to change the basic design.

Seems to have survived the intervening years with the odd ooops moment along the way.

Or European walkers were happy to wander the moors smelling of paraffin.

 

Was the smell not meant to keep away mosquitos?

Nice find!

So, other posts seem to indicate the thread on the Hurlock will accept other common burners. How difficult would it be to fit a regulated burner? Too tall?

 

It would likely be too tall. I think most Hurlock owners value the historical accuracy over the convenience of not leaking.
