    Hello gentlemen, found a Korean ebay supplier but will not ship due to some virus problem (!) Can anyone suggest a source? A new type 8r multitool key may be too short and it will get hot. Even considering lengthening an 4mm clock key. Its for a refurb on a plain 111 stamped stove that was supplied incomplete and the key is the last shortage. Thanks in advance, this is my first post.

    Thanks for your suggestions, 2191 appears to be the inner valve spindle that moves the cleaning needle and controls the burner. I will give base camp a call and see if they can help.

    At great expense, more than I paid for the stove. I've ordered a multifunction key from kitelamp. Looks a good design and always useful to have a nrv key available.

    Nothing, but I needed a nrv tool anyway. If I hear anything I'll put it on here for information.

    Credit to base camp who gave this reply
    Hello, thanks for the mail, the 8R key will not fit properly through the hole in the 111 case. We do have round shaft controls for the marine stoves, you could cut one down and square the end on a 111 spindle with mole grips. ( I have done this before and it works OK).
    These controls are £8.75 plus p/p.


    Always had good service from base camp.
