    I have just aquired a couple of monitor stoves from 1953, they have never been used. I have only ever used roarers so this was a learning experience. I followed the instructions on the card supplied and have the following pictures of the results.

    Question, what should the flame look like?

    Thanks in advance.

    The stove is running great! It takes a while to get the tank washed out of trace of metal inside, and then it will burn blue.

    Man,

    You take nice pictures!

    I appreciate the one with the clear view of the tank markings.

    It looks like a really strong running burner. Congratulations on the nice additions to the family.

    Enjoy them. :clap: 8)

    Nice stoves!
    I also receievd my first silent stove yesterday as a result of beeing advised to spread my wings, until yesterday I had roarers only.
    Not a classic I bought, but a brand new Prabhat no.1

    I was amazed by the nice controlled flame, and the easy control of the simmering low level flame. And how silent it actually was, I did not expect that big difference.

    Next to do is a comparison test of a classic roarer compared to the new Prabhat.

    Short report,
    Pro: foldable - easy to put together. LOW volume. And nice control of low level flame.

    Con: The wormanship is not the same as on the classic stoves, however this is not a juvel, but it works fine and that’s the important thing.
    Is it as powerful as the roarers? (test will show later).

    Thanks Al,
    when I opened the box and assembled the stove, I found that the burner was slightly bent (offset approximately 5mm) probably because a transport damage, I could not live with that so I bent it back in position. Because of the bending I was a bit worried, but the flame quality was top end, the quality surprised me.
    No resonance and no voids, just pure pleasure to watch the stove after ignition :)

    I am doing my very best to pretend you guys have not fired up brand new stoves and gotten them all discoloured from heat.

    Pretense aside, you did it, :frown: da##.

    Well done, i think ?
