I have looked over youtube and this forum...cant seem to get a straight answer...the unmodified roarer version of this stove that has the brass knob on the drawer under the tank...is that flame adjustable? I am not trying to get a low trickle flame, but every other roarer stove I have has some variance, and since I dont have an example of this stove in front of me I cannot tell. Better to get the roarer or the modified silent burner? Looking at something like this type of roarer:Surmet No:2 | Classic Camp Stoves VS this type of silent: British Army No 2 MK 2 modified 1993 | Classic Camp Stoves
The roarer is adjustable, just about, but can become less so if the point of the control rod/wire is worn. As to which is better? I don't personally believe that the silent version ever burned 100% correctly, but when I used a no.2 regularly (car camping) it was the silent version I used.
Seems a lot more fierce than a Primus. But I've seen people run those little German folding ovens on No.2s and they worked well.
Bringing this back to the top as I'm still curious but by what I can tell the roaring burner is a better stove? By what I've read is mainly the complaints on the "modified" type
