I haven't fired it up yet. I was worried I'd have to return it under the "distance selling regulations" - I'd started on to worry some cheeky...
Chain. Shorter coarser links than my classic 8r, also a butterfly double loop rather than that elegant twisted design on old stoves. [ATTACH]...
Hi folks, Last week I had a landmark birthday and Mrs Smiffy treated me to a stove. I steered her towards the 123R as it's a classic design, but...
Gentlemen, First of all happy new year. Secondly I hear time and again that people are missing the pot-grip / pot-lifter from their stove and...
