    This is my KampKook and a video I made demonstrating the operation of it.

    Looks like an older road bike pump.

    Fascinating to see the differences between your version and the post 1924 version… Thank you for the closeups on the smaller bits…

    I use a flexible tube between pump and tank to facilitate pumping on my AGM #3,,, albeit the stove is a later model… I see by your video that my connecting tube could be much shorter…

    Very nice. I love my #3. I got mine in very rough shape and decided to mostly keep it that way. Fixed what needed it, replaced some parts, cleaned and used some high temp clear coat to preserve the years of use and abuse. Great little stoves.

    Shawn, I was hoping to see your "new" #3!

    :) It's coming, hopefully the first week of April. I am still trying to figure out why I can't get more than 5# of pressure in the tank.

    Have you tried a pump from the sporting goods store that pumps up balls?
    Mine came with a plastic tip that fit perfectly in the cap recess.

    I have not and funny enough I just purchased a new bike pump for my family's bikes! I will see if there is a tip that will work. Thank you!

    The one I got does not have a hose.
    It is a relatively small pump. Bigger that the one that came with the stove, smaller than a bicycle pump.
    That way I can press the whole pump assembly onto the cap. The tip of the pump seals well on the hole.
