I have the same MSR pot set as you, bought about 20 years ago. It has a lot more wear and tear, but it still works OK . Cheers Simon Foxxx
My observation is that my 123 burns hotter than my 8R, and also boils water faster, for the same volume, temperature, etc. I think it is just the...
How does Jet A1 go off, if you mind me asking?
Hiya there Matt, I only just saw this message. I would be happy to help out, if I can. Just send me a private message. Covid lockdown is a...
Fettlebox provide a very good service. Post to New Zealand is only 2 -3 weeks.
Hmm, darn it. Maybe your solution to the problem will be the best way forward. At least I can say that the stove runs well on canister gas. All...
I have tried my Soto Muka on a propane/butane mixture (25/75) using the gas valve supplied with my Soto StormBreaker stove. It worked quite well....
I have one of these stoves, from new. It should run well. Is it possible that you are over filling it? 2/3 full is the general rule. Cheers...
Hiya Lyle Cross, The early 99's had an aluminium heat shield, the later 99's used the chrome plated shield as in the 8R model. Cheers Simon Foxxx

A fine example indeed, I am green with jealousy :content:. Cheers Simon Foxxx
I obtained check valve replacements for a Coleman 505A and 400 stoves (from Old Coleman Parts). Both were supplied with a small "O" ring. It fits...
I have recently purchased a Stormbreaker, so have not used it a great deal. My considered opinion is that if you are embarking on a 3 month trip,...
The observations made, and postulated reasons given are rather fascinating. I wonder if there are any combustion engineers from Rolls-Royce, Pratt...
Hiya, you might want to check that the rubber tubing on the pot handle isn't getting scorched by the flame of your super powerful Coleman 505B. I...
What happened (I was there) was that with each pump, with thumb over the air hole, more fuel spurted out. This was part of testing before we left...
I have the check valve removal tool, and used it only about three times. It is a high quality item, and allows rapid removal and cleaning of the...
Very nice P71 collection, Mr Park. Happy New Year from down under. Cheers Simon Foxxx Christchurch New Zealand
I have an Enders 9061, and I will check to see if I have a spare jet. Cheers Simon Foxxx
