    After this "little thing" arrived at my house, I was curious how much heat it would produce. After having posted 2 or 3 photos on the site, someone identified him.
    So I was even more curious about the "advertising", I went to observe mine more "closely" except that there were only 4 "tubes" missing on the outside it was impeccable, just a little dusty and dirty, I removed the NRV the spring was glued " as I was already waiting " I repaired it and put it back together , cleaned the burners and the spirit Cup , changed the gaskets , and it was time to see if such an old " thing " produced that much heat .

    Yeah, but what's the time to boil 500ml of water?

    Very good for boiling up a stack of lobsters.

    Cheers

    Hi, The fuel consumption of this No. 8 Intensive is given as 4 Imperial pints per hour by the Manufacturer.
    I reckon that your furnace is therefore producing about 22kW, or 75,108 Btu/hr.

    Calculated Stove Powers.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile

    Nice stove. Tilt it a bit to the West and it will slow the rotation of the earth.
