We had a discussion re this stove a little while ago when Doc bought one. Don't think he posted a pic yet. Well, when Santa was in the office yesterday he took a pic of the 110. It's on the cellphone camera, which lacks rather a bit. This is new, unfired, nice:
Hi Ed, You have a very nice stove there. I understand that they were adaptable to run a Bowl Fire heater in cold weather. I would love to see an image of the burner assembly on your stove, as I have most of one of these stoves and need to fit a burner with the correct caps to it. My 1937 Primus 110 is fitted with a conventional spirit cup rather than the fancy kerosene priming arrangement shown on yours. Thanks for posting the image....very nice indeed. Best Regards, Kerophile. PS I think Doc is waiting for Santa to bring him a burner for his 110.
Evening, Lads, Ed, that's a fantastic Primus 110! Your's is pristine, and very lovely, indeed! Mine is nice, but not as nice as yours, Sir!! =D> =D> Mine also needs pot supports, a pot support ring, and I would LOVE to have the heater attachment, too. But, I'm very happy to have mine, nevertheless. Here are a few shots of my Primus 110. I really like the nickel-plated tank. Very nice! I also like the scalloped windshield which surrounds the priming cup. I've never seen this on another stove, except the 110. And, here's a shot of the outer cap, for Kerophile. George, if you want a shot of the inner cap, too, please give me a shout. The set is wired on, and I've yet to remove the wire. I was pleased to get mine on FleaBay, and for what I thought was a very good price, too. Haven't fired it up as of yet, but plan to do just that. After Christmas, I hope to have time for the 110, the Campingo 2, and also the Primus 744, four-burner. Lots to do, and lots fun between now and then!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Hi Doc,many thanks for the high quality photos. You have a lovely stove. I will look out my burners today to compare with your one. Best Regards, Kerophile
Very nice stove Ed. It looks to be a late model, what year is it? It's a pity the heater parts weren't with it. Just for reference, here's a couple of pictures of my complete 110 from 1936 (thumbnails). This was one I found complete on my last trip back home to Australia. Unfortunately it was a bit big to fit in the suitcase so it's still at my Mum's place in Aust. You can see that it has the wrong burner fitted. It must have been pretty common to fit ordinary silent burners when they couldn't get parts for the standard one. My other 110 also had the wrong burner but I managed to find a NOS burner (Primus part no. 4047). This is also the same burner fitted to the Primus 107 stove. Here is a picture of my other 110 from 1932 to show the correct burner. Br Nils
Evening, Shag, Nils, Ed, and All, Trevor, I was actually quite surprised that I got mine for such a good price. It went on Ebay, and the bidding was not too fast and furious. I think that was because the seller only had 1 transaction, and I guess nobody wanted to take a chance. As it turned out, 11 folks bid on it, but the end price was only $34.50!! 8) \ \ The seller turned out to be a very nice young lady, who was trying to do the right thing, but had a few things to learn. She put the wrong Zip Code on the package, which she send the day after the auction. But, with the wrong Code on it, the stove took quite a long time to "find" me! But, find me, it eventually did, and I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality and condition of that Primus 110! It's dirty, but should clean up very well. Next, I need to find out how long the pot supports are, and then try to cobble some up. In any case, I got this one dirt cheap, and am very happy about that!! Guzz, yours and Ed's 110's are outstanding, by any gauge!! Very nice, indeed!! Mine is from 1950, and though it needs a real cleaning, doesn't look like it's been used too much. Very unique and interesting stoves, in any case, aren't they! Thanks for sharing yours, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc P.S. Shag, if I ever find a second one, it's your's, if you want it!
Hi, here as promised are some photos of a couple of New Old Stock burners for Primus 110 stoves: These burners are Part Number 4047, and are "silent" The outer caps have a small cut-out on their lower skirt. This aligns with one of a matching pair of lugs, located diametrically opposite one another, inside the burner bell.Once cut-out and lugs are aligned, a simple twist locks the burner cap in place on the burner. Above you can see the outer cap is Primus metal and is part No. 4209. The inner cap (Part No. 4679) has a central spigot which extends downwards toward the jet. The outer cap (Part No. 4209) has five rows of apertures. The side view of this burner shows it to be a transition between the vapouriser-type burners used on a Primus 96, 97 or 100 stoves and the later silent burner design we are all familiar with. One of these burners is helpfully date marked AA (1936), the other one, marked XC, dates from 1933 Above you see the interior of the burner basket. Note the large jet (Part No. 4395)...although the aperture in quite normal. This burner is fitted with an internal cleaning needle, but no power regulator; these came later, I believe, The burner does not utilise a vaporiser gauze, presumably because of the internal cleaning needle. Not bad condition for 70+ years old! Best Regards, Kerophile.
Hi, here is a copy of the cleaning instructions for the Primus #4047 burner, which was used on the Pr.110 and Pr.107 stoves, as well as some ranges, I believe: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/10285 Thanks to Guzz for sending me the copy. Best Regards, Kerophile.
Hi @Curt A this is a very old thread (2007) and the featured burners are long gone as swaps with other stove enthusiasts. Sorry, Kerophile.
