That Coleman is a beauty! I'm glad I kept my powder dry.

Can I play too? My bun foot Optimus 00 is still one of my favourite stoves and it runs like an absolute belter.

As this is a very open category this month, and I don't have any nice French enamelled stoves then I dug this little beauty out.



Flame shot.



And the gallery.


Another Trangia copy

 

Wow! Glad I didn't enter a stove. I just love these old survivors being one myself.

Someone need to speak up for the big guys - So here is my entry: the Vesuvius 400.





And the gallery: Vesuvius 400

 

Looks like it should be an apolo space craft.

 

Do you have a link to it in the Stove Reference Gallery? I can edit it in for you if you have it.

 

Yes it is in the reference gallery but I struggled to sort the link out. If you can do it I’d be very grateful. Scott

 

Evening, @Boogy ,

This must be the one, right?!!

New touring turm

Ross can shorten it, as I've never played around with that, as of yet. I hope that helps you. Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,

My only non-european stove, a Manaslu 96.

The pictures in the gallery was taken when the stove was new.

 

Hi, All,

Here's my 1961 Primus Shortie 71, with it's Swiss Marco cookset.





And, the link to it's place in the Stove Reference Gallery:

1961/62/70s Prius 71 Los Tres Hermanos Cortos de Primus, con Marco, Suiza!

At the end of that post, those of you who do YT, can see and hear this combo in action! This Short 71 has the lovely and strong "puttering" that we all know and love!! Excellent combination, and, IMHO, head and shoulders above and beyond the Optimus 124 cookset. It's most certainly stronger than the 124, but also a tad heavier. Tit for tat, I guess.... Thanks for checking it out, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish
Doc
