Thanks Doc, Ah, that's it the more clicks, the deeper the needle-thingy will be when the spindle is turned to the right (closed) and thus the...
These things work on meths only - use petrol and you'll start a bonfire. The clips are for an upper lid, meant to close off and thus extinguish...
Doc, just to make sure 4 or just 3 'clicks', does it make a difference? So far I've always done the latter, if only because that seems to work...
I'd say take the 8R - so you can do without an extra windscreen - with a Midi-pump and cap, for preheating and maybe extra pressure at high...
Congrats Ian, wonderfully done. In this way that book on stoves will be ready in no time.
Now that Doc mentions it his present post already did make me think that he should be the one to write a book about stoves - all by himself, that...
I find this kind of highlighting a single type of stove terribly interesting. Superb photo's, too. Thank you, Doc.

Praise indeed! Meanwhile I was trying to find Optimus instructions for the 199, but found none here on CCS (and thus don't expect to find them...
I was rather surprised that 199 no. 1 went to me for that price, but apparently I was lucky that the 'competition' had other (better?) things to...
That tatty no. 1 was won by me, however I'm still waiting for the seller to quote his P&P. No. 2 is probably a better deal. The price for no. 3...
Yeah, just imagine .. especially when burning in the dark ... plus no need for lamps anymore !!!
This weekend at a local flea market I bought an Optimus 111B with all-chrome tank. Pump-knob and ring, filler cap and preheating 'saucer' all are...
The Phoebus 625 burner stem is screwed into the tank with a small thin lead sealing ring in between. After unscrewing the stem (for fettling or...
I'd think it's the generator that's at fault - always the Achilles' heel of these otherwise very reliable and easy to handle Coleman stoves....
1 two-burner suitcase 1 502 + heat drum + cook kit 1 505A (Peak One) The suitcase and 502 have been used extensively and to great satisfaction...
Thanks Doc, Yes, my old-style (pre-R) Svea 123 (and Optimus 8 and Primus 71) keys all fit the Campus - all their stems being practically the same...
