Thanks for reposting-I didn’t see the previous one. Good article.
I did som measurements last night in the back yard, attempting to simulate conditions I would have camping: open area, no walls, and distance from...
Yeah, that’s such an unusual find and will look good as a display while having another to use.
I live in the Twin Cities and if Alan, or Dave here in MN somewhere miss out, I will do what I can to assist konabill if he's next on the list.
@snwcmpr glad you cleared my misconceptions about replacing the wick. My 1st time pulling the wick on a Svea was tough. When I reassembled I used...
Optimus 8R wick: What happens if you let the tank run dry while running the stove? Does it char the wick like happens with the Svea 123? I'm...
Is the 8R self pressuring and with a wick in it like a Svea 123?
Look good! I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out before I try alcohol stoves again. Here's a good "how to," or "not how to," of this...
Classic example of why I respect CCS. You are a fine bunch of folks.

For the 123R I used 2 tubes, one soldered inside the other for strength. No need for a clock key, just took the stove to the hardware store and...
Below are pictures of 2 different keys I purchased. The silver colored plated key has a good square hole. The brass colored one has that goofy...
Check the actual square hole of the keys: the brass keys I purchased have a goofy hole that looks drilled out and then squared. I feel that it...
Glad you did the experiment. Hopefully we’ll continue to see more comments, adding to the value of your initial measurement.
Thanks for putting that in perspective. I have difficulty relating measured db levels with perceived loudness.
If I remember correctly, isn’t -3db half the sound pressure while -10db is an apparent 1/2 volume we here? -38db max difference you measured is...
Yeah, salt. But a few ‘grains’ only. Use a very small tweezers to count the salt grains. I once mistook the salt for sugar. Never made that...
I haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid. Time to go on the hunt.
