    Long overdue a post...

    Here is what looks like an unfired/unused Primus 340 Sp, Plated with a 1951 AP12 stamped tank.

    A Primus 210 tank with a Primus 3025 regulated Alcohol Burner. The case is the round-edged style used for the later 210 and the sister case to the 41/341 etc.

    I'm not sorry to say this is a shelf queen and I won't be changing that anytime soon :lol:

    That's a beauty. Excellent find. I do like the alcohol versions of stoves.

    Hi Alec, a grand stove. Would be possible to have some details, sizes and photos of the inner cap? It’s a content missing on the forum, so would be a great resource.

    Thanks,

    Nicola

    Yes, I'm ahead of you there, I'm experimenting with an adapter/modification to use standard caps with a spigot.
    I'll definitely post photos/dimensions.

    I have several 3025/3026/4151 burners but only two inner caps between them ](*,)

    Alec.

    Thanks Alec, I have a 3025 as well without inner. I have played with some inner spigots and caps but still can’t reach the best combustion.

    Thanks,

    Nicola
