    Right team, it is now spring, and days are running out before Christmas Day, or between Christmas and New Year? Let's make it happen.

    I'd love to meat up as well, but it's a bit out of my neck of the woods ;)

    A good NZ-lamb roast is delicious as well :thumbup:

    Apologies but covid said hi so cant leave home. I could come and share more than just stoves and food but I think others would think that a bad idea

    Sorry to hear that that @geeves.
    I headed out early because procrastinating from braving the shops won.

    Good selection of stoves anyway. That yellow one on the right though. I think I have the same one. Its the only stove I have that actually tried to kill me

    The yellow one is a Sun Power SG363. It's an interesting stove but mine is missing the screw in pump so it can only be a shelf queen.

    Same one. If you want to come round some time you might be able to figure out the missing parts. If you turn the priming knob to burn too soon they flood the burner. Mine did this burning in a meat tray in the garage resulting in a meat tray sized fire. Grabbed it by the edges walked backwards out of the garage dropped it and ran. I was 20 meters up the driveway by the time it hit the deck and went out. No damage except to the hair on my knuckles which grew back eventually
