These M1950 stoves have no "high" or "low". There is only "off" "start" and "burn" settings. What you've shown is typical of an inadequately...
I'm pretty transparent, no? LOL. Actually, I found myself wondering recently how small such a burner could be made. It'd be neat to make it...
I remembered posting about this little coilburner several years back... Here's a link to the post, which includes some information on its...
Oh, man! I'd love to find one of those! Beauties! I can share building instructions for my coil burner (which I dubbed Pocket Rocket before...
The whole stove, filled with 28ml of Coleman fuel, heat shield and windscreen (not shown) weighs 315g. It's heavy since it's made from copper...
Either way.... I'm not picky. :) My homemade coil burner's the smallest working pressure stove I've seen (stands 5" tall, 300g fuelled), but...
So, what is the smallest liquid fueled pressure stove (including tank and all) made lo these last 120 years? Idle curiosity is my only motive....
The "fuel rod" is a "Generator" or "Vaporizing tube". Pressure in the tank forces fuel into this tube. It's run across the main burner, which...
Christer, any chance of that document being uploaded to the site? Could be good reading. J
Great job! Sounds about right to me, on wicks I've replaced in self-pressurizing stoves (mostly 8R/99 stoves) I've always left the strands...
Won't ever be me disagreeing with you on that, Doc. Spot on. J (who has likewise burnt, shocked, frozen, pinched, cut, bruised and otherwise...
You can make a wick for such a stove with about any PURE COTTON string. Old string mops are a popular source. One can be rigged using lantern...
Nice 3-burner! First, the tank and the date. Look carefully at the tabs that mount the tank to the stove. You'll find the date stamped in...
The tank of an 8R isn't rigidly connected to the case. The case has a bracket attached to it with 2 spot welds, and the tank simply "snaps" into...
I get the impression of a 71 in a 70's box... Do you have the flame plate? J
Thanks! I do intend to try this stove on cannister fuel too... If just to be complete. J
Now to try on Kerosene.... I should be telling y'all that first, I unscrewed the jet retaining ring from the venturi, and replaced the midsized...
BernieDawg reviewed the previous, flawed Primus Gravity MF here: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/13168 This is a review of the replacement...
A friend's family own an old gas station/service station. A couple local yobs worked as tire changers at the garage. It came to pass that...
I can't recall today where I read that, but it was about a decade or so ago when I did. I'd read that they replaced them with a kerosene/diesel...
