bit shinier than your normal stoves steve :wink: . hope you get it going - it's a great thing when it's working
Nice little stove, you'll be delighted when it's running. Spares also available from.... http://www.base-camp.co.uk/Optimus.html
both those are very good points. partly, i'm guilty of consumerism for the sake of it. hopefully, it'll get my wife to give up the awful, bulky...
