Coffee this morning was something of a rude awakening. I got my second Stesco coil stove yesterday. Fired it up without problems and boiled a...
@Hwheel72 - life has gotten in the way of my stove habit (flood, house move). It is tucked away in a box and I hope normal stoving will resume in...
J’aime le tartiflette. The first time my eldest (now 15 and as tall as I am) put two words together was after tartiflette. Mummy. Mummy. Water....
I was going to cut back some of the compromised metal to form a reliable edge. I hadn’t thought of going that far, but can see how a straight...
Hmm… perhaps soldering in a brass (which I have to hand) or steel (which I do not) mesh and using that as a ‘skeleton’ for some filler putty… -R
With the help of a great tutorial on OldTown Coleman I have taken this apart and give everything a good clean. The stove itself and its fuel tank...
Freeze spray on the lipstick, or a combination of that and heat (on the bell) might help. -R
Hats off to @Remus1956 for (a) giving this a go and (b) following up with all the gorey details. I have a few jets / lipsticks that would benefit...
So I am discovering! [ATTACH] -R
There is indeed a balance to be struck between shiny and seasoned. I’m thinking mostly about treating the rust and preserving the case for...
I picked up a 1980 dated 413G a few months ago. I finally had a chance to look at it this week. I like the extra grill space it offers. It’s...
If it helps, you are not alone. I did something similar (lost the small retaining nut from the end of the pump shaft) with a monitor stove of my...
This came my way at the end of last summer, but life has intervened to leave it sitting in its box since then. I finally got a chance to put it...
My wife’s octogenarian aunt came to visit a few days ago and took great interest in my collection of stoves. In her school days in rural...
I made the most of some fine weather on Sunday to give my Optimus 155 a good outing. It ran for several hours. First some bread in an Italian...
@mickmassie - I found the seller sealsuppliesuk on ebay to be very helpful. If you send them an o-ring they’ll measure it to ensure you get an...
Very clear, thank you, and that was what I was expecting to see, but there don’t appear to be any fibre washers, just two lead washers in the...
Thanks @kerophile Does this stove actually have such washers, or is a seal made with a pair of lead washers on the two inner sides of the riser?...
Thanks for the tip, but I managed to loosen the burner this morning. A dip in my ultrasonic cleaner seems to have helped a little. I’m now...
Thankfully I discovered this in another post before I damaged the 340 I picked up a few months ago. I have been unable however to separate the...
