    how many tilley stoves are in existence world wide.c.s 56. i have one being restored by eric the lamp man and his apprentice (john i think) in maylands western australia (neither had seen this model before) had it for about 15 years cooks lovely but when i aquired it one pan support on top was missing so am having it remanufactured by john. He has been fixing kero stuff 4 over 50 years. He is making up a 4 inch (i think)generator (diffuser) unique to tilley stove

    Nice try, Dan, but I've got one you don't know about - so that makes it 20,317... 8)

    Yes - but not thinking anyone would want it I just threw one away as the brass had tarnished. I stand by my figure!

    You threw it in the bin - still exists, therefore I stand by my figure!

    P.S. Where do you live and what day do the bin-men come round? ;)

    O.K. you guys are just winding me up. and as I do do not have a sense of humour as I work for multiplex on the Wembley site. know what I mean. And As I own 17 tilley stove s in various states of desrpair and in good working order.So 20,317 + 17= 20,334 plus the one I stole out of your bin that is 20,335. thanks 4 the info. but the tilley stove is a bit top heavy with a big pan on top so i should stick to coleman or svea then, will advertise my tilley on ebay western australian time 10 pm 2moro

    Behave. For the same reason you don't like the best lamps available. (Even though you've recently seen sense) :D
    Anyway - when are we meeting up for a 'brew'?
    See you soon mate - Paul
