Well I can't seem to find anything other than some AI information to which I don't really trust as the source seems to be from eBay listings hahahaha.... Does anyone know who made (factory) the Korean manaslu 75 stove? Context....I own these two stoves and my understanding is the Hope Manaslu 121 is Japanese and very well regarded. It has a steel flame ring and windscreen with steel legs...and says "manaslu" on the burner across it twice. The other is a Korean made manaslu 75 stove in a tin. Brass flame ring, steel Optimus-like windscreen and says "manaslu/korea" across the burner The Japanese Manaslu stands higher on the feet and has different feet than the Korean counterpart. I am understanding that Manaslu didn't have a contract to make stoves outside of Japan so I'm guessing the Korean is a clone? Who made it? (Left blue is the Korean manaslu kit... Right was what came with the Japanese manaslu.. In a crappy soft red bag)
re "Does anyone know who made (factory) the Korean manaslu 75 stove?" and "I'm guessing the Korean is a clone? Who made it?" I've seen S. Korean Manaslu 75 made by HAN SHIN ------ I recall, here on CCS some initial explanation, cant find it now. The impression I'm left with: I wouldn't consider Korean ones clones but that legit Manaslus were made in both countries. There are several models and variations, such details are not readily available, as far as i know, SO!... we have that to look forward to lol. Quite a bit on CCS (happy hunting!) -and- both Japan & S Korea have enthusiasts online so many more details are out there to be had I'm sure. good luck
@OMC thank you! I cant seem to find anything about them but will keep searching. It definitely works well thats for sure.
Hobby time is limited (done today). As hobby time allows: I will do a ref gallery post to add more model 75 details (not more answers, not yet). HAN SHIN is noted below and my post will incl. HAN SHIN as well. and, with that, then make comparison comment. ----- Meanwhile i have CCS-searched THREE times, "i thought" there was a *list of Manaslu models within a CCS post ??? As i recall, the *list is incomplete... Remus, Anyone, Have you run across such a list? (link to it?) Anyway, (i thought) that would have been a good place to start to continue documenting what we can find re Manaslu stove examples: origin (Japan v S Korea) model #s, tank sizes approx decade ======= TMI note to self: some "Manaslu" posts (that i already checked, that do NOT have model list argh) NOTE: i am beginning to doubt myself that the model list was Manaslus .
