Glogau Alcohol "Camp" Model Stove

Glogau model. Have seen this one referred to as "camp" model, or "WWII" model as well.

Came in this tin pot:


Opened up. "Camp" model because it has removable legs:


Inside the tin. Probably lead soldered on the seam. Tin solder coating is pretty worn as well:


Stove itself. Cap on backwards to fit inside the tin:


Filler cap off, and filled with denatured alcohol:


Snuffer cap:


Legs on:



Priming:



Blooming:


Flame on:


Comparison with my older model. Older is larger, and has 3 tubes to the burner. Newer, "improved" model, has a single riser tube, and 5 holes on top, compared to a single vent hole on the older model. The older model has a handle, where the camp model does not.



to be cont...

Thanks for looking.

 

Both models are beautiful!
They work great!

 

Thanks Knee, appreciate it.

 

Huh... I've never seen an alcohol stove like this. Not sure how this works. So there's one wick that sits in the fuel, and another that goes into the burner chamber, with some sort of valve in-between? You must need to prime it somehow to get the chamber hot enough to vaporize the fuel, but I don't see a primer cup... Can someone explain it to me?

 

very neat.

Thanks!

I was more descriptive on my previous Glogau stove: Glogau's Alcohol-Gas Stove No. 75

 

OK, now I get it. The little wick thing is used to heat the burner cap, and there must be a second wick to get the fuel up into the cap. What I thought was a valve was just a lever to rotate the burning wick under the burner cap after it's lit.

Very clever those Germans!

Thanks - Paul

 

You got it. Pretty basic, but works easy enough.

 

@The Warrior
Very uncommon stoves. German production?

 

Interesting little outfit!

The coating would be pure tin, the solder would likely be a tin/lead mix.

These cheaper vessels were made from tinplate- sheet steel hot dipped in tin at the factory- and pieces simply cut and soldered together.

As an aside, a lot of modern tinplate is electroplated rather than dipped, the resulting thinner coating means rust much sooner.

 

Very nice stoves! I like the flame pattern and the silence of the stove.
Rust is probably its biggest enemy, since the rest is as simple as it can get.

 

Nice stoves

 

Wind is a close second. They're an indoor stove for sure.

Yes sir.

@Blackdog

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks!

I agree, doesn't take much to simply blow it out. You may get by on a calm day, with a wind screen.
