Here is my common Primus 210 that I posted to SRG last September. The kettle is a new acquisition, however.

 

A Turm 38 - one with a ’double-barrel’ feed from the fuel tank. A more detailed post about how the fettling went is on my todo list.

Please find my Army No. 12 cooking fresh prawns (again) on my home-made garden bar with a cold glass of white wine

 

Phoebus 625 military, Here is a link to my Phoebus 625 military edition, this one has been set up to be used with Paraffin/Kerosene, prior to me owning it i think it has had very little use or none at all.

I like to add my, very rough, Radius 43.

Dont know if this is galery material, so I haven't posted it anywhere...

 

It shows signs of being well used, repairs and was obviously a trusty companion! Certainly gallery material, tell us all about it! And some action shots of cooking would be even better!

 

Some very strong entries here. I'll add my very early Optimus No 5

 

I almost attempted to compete………but after looking at the competitors I’ve decided to enjoy a little “ stove envy “
Great submissions !

 

French Primus 54 - 1934 - Y7 and Y24

My Primus 54 with its 2 grid models

 

1923 Nulite


Nulite No.2 Stove

 

WOW! Stiff competition this month! I'll toss my Aida 100 into the mix, as I'm not sure she's been an SoTM entry before but I'm pretty sure she's not going to be in the top five with all the nice stoves here!
