Coleman 501, in the Stove Reference Gallery HERE, pictured with a visual clue that the model was recalled by Coleman as unsafe. My example evidently escaped destruction.




Briefly fired up on butane to demonstrate the flame pattern, but not a ‘user’ stove.

Ik like to nominate my Peak 1 Apex II model 445A700 (mod)


Which Is bought for cheap, because the original fuel line was ruptured. I replaced it with a piece of heat resistant fuel line and breaded it with shielding from a scrap piece of CAN-bus wire.
I also had to repair the pump, because it developed a crack. Which I repaired with shoe sole repair glue.

Here it is on shrimp cooking duty:


Sorry no srg link. Didn't know if a scrappy stove like this is eligible for the srg, since it isn't a reference model anymore due to my mod. Maybe more a Frankenstove?

Thanks for reading

Landers, Frary, & Clark Universal No. 0, making my evening tea atop the pellet stove, as it does nearly every night.


More photos in the SRG here. Stove is stamped 1908.

Edit: Interesting that my flag is showing "Canada". Perhaps I need to check the news.

 

@ArchMc would you send me some ketchup chips?

Here is a custom painted 502 from my project "here"



All the details are contained in the original post.

 

North American stoves-- a big category, second only I suppose to "European stoves"!

Here's a Coleman 'Guide Series Powerhouse 414"




Why bother with a new Coleman suitcase in such a contest? Because they're still making 'em!

The classics survive in production (at least four years ago--haven't seen a new one on the shelves lately...)

 

Montgomery Wards THE LAKESIDE Camp stove #2, Mid to late 1920's. Recent completion and such a pretty Blue Flame.

 

Turner 1111 single from the folks that sold blow torches world wide. This fine sturdy stove was gifted to me from @snwcmpr at Mojave meet up in April. Gets regular use by me.

BTW has new replacement label thanks to @cottage hill bill

 

Good Day, All,

WOW! As always, we're getting some great entries! I'll toss a special little stove out, too, just for fun!

This is my 1872 Hauck & Son Meths stove!



And, after fettling it into life:



Please check out the fettling post in the Stove Reference Gallery:

1872 Hauck and Son, fettled & revisited.

This little stove is a favorite of mine! Thanks for giving it a squint. Best of luck to one and all who have entered this month's contest!

Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish,
- Doc

 

@Daryl

I don't care how long you cook that silhouette chicken it's going to be tough.

 

@HunterStovie so true, but easy to catch.
