    As mentioned in another thread, which allowed me to find the name of the stove, I have recently been passed the family 2 burner stove, first purchased by my grandfather and used since on family camping trips.

    The stove is a 2 burner 'briefcase' type with fold down legs, and a fold up lid, with a single wind shield, which can be moved to either side. the whole internal assembly including burners can hinge forward for cleaning, with the input block being held in place on the inside of the tray (I can't quite see how!)

    The stove has the input for the gas from a campingaz 904 type cylinder at the front centre, and this is a large screw connector. Originally this came with a swivel to 8mm 'Fulham' pipe adapter which connected to the gas bottle via a regulator. The way we used to set it up, as i remember, was screw the pipe into the stove and run to a convenient place for the bottle and then screw in the cylinder to the regulator.

    Unfortunately this stove was loaned out a little while ago and the pipe and connector assembly has been lost. While the regulator and pipe are easy to find replacements for I and struggling to find the connector for the bottom of the stove.

    Does anyone have one of these stoves, or parts?

    I need to know what the thread is on the input, but can't get in to measure properly. I'll get some photos of the current state of the stove uploaded when i get home from work.

    I am planning on cleaning it up and re-spraying, but it is pointless unless I can get the input valve or an alternative...

    Photos now posted in the Images forum here, needs some work!

    The lid does completely slide off the hinges, making life a bit easier for cleaning up!

    One additional photo of the 'input valve' coming up, with a ruler for scale.
