Ali $22.00 Silent burner head?

Just ordered one came out to $21.80 to the U.S.
I know I have a stove to use this on just sending out the smoke signal to Y'all!!

A question for @Remus1956- is this the same cap as fitted to the burner bell in this excellent thread of yours? The measurements look close for No.8rs etc, at just over £13 delivered to the UK it's a great price...

 

@Blackdog even down to the 5 holes down the side...measurement on my caliper say the same too 31.7mm width.

 

Fixed that for ya.

Thanks for that- at that price I'll buy a few!

 

Your Welcome!!
I want to see if it fits on my MSR Firefly..

 

You'll have to let me know. I would try it on mine but my cap is silbrazed to the svea bell haha

 

Will do have to find it first..
I think the bell is a little different if I remember on the Fire Fly..
It's been a few years I used a Silent burner off an Iwalker if I'm not mistaken I think it sat to tall above the pot rest.

 

Ramseybella, sorry for the thread drift but I gotta know how you fitted that modern line and gas fitting to the Firefly! I have a Firefly that would just love to know!

 

Loosen the old hose clamp and pull the old hose off cut the end of the new hose off slip a dog ear pressure clamp on the hose slip the new hose end it onto the Stove fuel line and clamp it down.
I don't remember what size clamp it is most likely pretty small.
I may have just used the old clamp by lightly prying at it expanding it to take off the pressure for reuse.
The MSR Whisperlite metal fuel tube is of a larger diameter so this hose will not work on it..
I did the same thing to an old Coleman Apex II but that was a more complicated process and sort of came out Frankensteinish looking but it worked Now I can use a Primus ErgoPump and Sigg bottles as well as Isobutane and Butane with an adapter.

 

@Ramseybella Thanks for the clarification. I've got a similar spare Aliexpress hose and will be doing that mod. Have you tried to operate in inverted mode?

 

Yes it works perfect would be the same principal as liquid fuel under pressure.
The Dragonfly design is different from conventional liquid fuel stoves it just gets real hot all around.
I had a machinist make me a screw on adapter to replace the tube.
It connected directly to the stove all it did was melt the fuel line hose within a couple minutes.

 

I meant Firefly.

 

Need to make a correction the Dog Ear clamp size for the Firfly is 5-7mm not 7-9.

 

Waiting on another MSR Firefly I won on Ebay I decided to play around with my Coleman Pocket Stove.
What a big difference in noise decibels practically non existent from a V2 to down to a whisper.
Boiled 4 cups of 40 degree water in around six minutes..
Pretty impressive results now need to tie it down to the burner bell and buy another silent burner.

 

Silent burner cap fits perfect on the MSR Firefly stove plenty of distance between the top of the silent burner and pot stand with half the noise.
The Fire Maple Petrel Ramen Pot fits like a glove.
One thing that will cause a minor issue is if you have to clean the jet, as the bell is not threaded to the body it's held down by a nut
If you wire the silent burner to the bell you'll have to remove the wire and silent burner first to get to the jet.
I'm trying to figure out how to make a stainless clip that goes from one air intake hole on the bell over the burner to the other side.
Not to important as once it has been heated it seems stuck inside the bell that you have to pry it out with a screwdriver.
Is it Silent "YES" and that's what matters.
This Firefly just came in the mail already did the hose mod and ordered another Silent burner before the prices start going up as they usually do.

 

Running lovely!

Alec.

 

yes it is..

 

So I removed the silent burner from the Coleman Pocket Stove to the Firefly although it works with the Coleman it's not as wind resistant as with the burner plate.
Back to being a V2 rocket.
Another application this preforms extremely well on is my little Primus No 71box stove I'll post some photos when the new Burner arrives.

 

My caps arrived in time to play at Newark. No wonkily drilled holes! The quality looks very good, at £13-ish they are fantastic value.

@junior trangia master has bèen experimenting with one too, hopefully he'll add some results.

 

The price and good construction does beat the alternative.
