    I think theyre really cool. The times I used to see this type of stove with pierced canisters always had people explain their particular method to screwing one down fast haha...

    Very nice John

    A complete example with box and all must be an extremely rare find!
    And with the cartridges are the icing on the cake.
    :D

    Thanks for sharing
