    Optimus 111 kero and 111B.

    I've been using the B recently simply because I love the sound. I know some people prefer a silent burner but there's something about that noise that I absolutely love!

    I have two 111's and a single 111B myself. One of the 111's was in horrible condition so I restored it and the other is 100% working but needs a cosmetic makeover. The 111B is simply in used condition.

    Howdy, All,

    Well, since this thread has been brought back from the past. Here is a photo of most of my 111 Family of stoves, with one Ranger #10, included, "just because"!

    These stoves are quite simply, brilliant work-horses, and there is very little that you can't do with one, or sixteen! ;) :lol: :D/ There is always room for "just one more"! Take care, and God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc

    I don't have a single 111 :cry: They're just too darn expensive and hard to find in the US.
