    In the passed I remake the Svea 126 as a heater and this time add a folding reflector tried in the snow.

    The stove was very warm and I was able to drink warm milk tea.
    Thank you for watching these.

    So how well did the reflectors work? Did you feel any additional heat coming from them? As the others have said they are beautifully made.

    Thank you for your comments.

    The reflector and behind it didn't get hot.
    I think I feel about twice as warm as I feel.
    I felt that it was good to be able to fold it small and protect the glass.

    Interesting, can we see it working without the glass? What's inside there? Lol

    @HONDA It is a great way to protect the glass and a little reflected heat is a bonus for sure.

    Hello Lol

    What's inside there?>>
    The inner cap was made from solid brass and the groove was cut out by hand with a file .
    Since heat is stored here and an air flow is generated, it continues to burn very very silently with little fuel.
    Burned for over 10 hours.
    However, since the air and fuel balance is very delicate, it will not burn just by changing the outer cap.
    It is very difficult just like to win the lottery because it is adjusted while watching the burning state little by little with a file.
