Hiya Team and Mr Snow Camper, I use the drill bit to gently clean out the top of the jet, and not to go right through the jet. I suspect that...
Hiya Geeves, (Also Christchurch), Are you using an Optimus HE pot, or a Primus HE pot? Cheers Simon Foxxx
I have a 1966 SVEA 123, and I can tell you that sometimes it runs amazingly well, and sometimes crap! I have taken out the wick several times to...
Very nice extra photos of your 199 on alcohol. Cheers Simon Foxxx
A fine collection of early MSR stoves and two ice axes for good measure. It looks like your collection of MSR articles is from late 1970's or...
I am fortunate enough to possess two of these great stoves. The jet does not need to be replaced when burning methylated spirit. The restrictor...

I got my first camping stove, as a gift, in 1967, when I was 9. The brand was GasPak (New Zealand made) and it used a disposable aerosol-type...
My belief is that the Russian PT 1 Touristy burns better than the Optimus 8R. See what you think, when you get yours and try it out. Cheers...
