You're quite right- it's the autocorrect on my phone, which doesn't like the word pennant for some reason. I didn't notice :oops: Maybe...
Tony, it's a bit hard to judge from the photos but is the the thread coarser than later control spindles, and is this very noticeable in use in...
Have a search for Parasene 1/2 pint silent burner stoves, here's one similar in many ways but with different burner.
Fabulous flame shot @Rodger Willows. A real contrast of perfect combustion and imperfect repair work.
Great photos, thanks for digging them out!
It seems I've joined the regulars at Newark too late for all the fun. Optimus No.111 record breaking, stove lighting competitions, stove...
I agree @Camp numao- it seemed right to let it fly again amongst canvas and paraffin stoves!
It sounds as though from the burning qualities that Primus were as thorough in their testing and development with this wick diversion as they were...
Very impressive John- a week back from Newark and it's looking smart and back in action! I can almost smell that flame shot from above...
I'll start with- possibly predictably- my well used and well loved Radius No.42. Not the best preserved but a user with real character! I found...
I felt a little guilty affixing this to my tent at Newark since I have never formally competed in this sport, but it attracted plenty of interest...
This one sold recently.
Poor explanation of my thoughts on my part- I recall Gary's work in developing his caps and agree that there are very tight known formulas...
You're right, but mine are rusted where they are and I've been slowly and gently trying options to free them.
It's remarkable isn't it, that the flame front still stays the correct side of the cap despite the gaping holes! There still seems to be a large...
Interesting detail on the caps thinning in use and therefore getting hotter. I'll have to look more closely at any which glow and see if they have...
Erm yes I've discovered that too- it's best to poke the cap out of place with the spanner on releasing pressure, otherwise it gets wedged in there...
Nice earlier set, the original 'lightweight' cooking outfit!
My PT-1 has some carbon felt in the spirit cup which may have helped things. In the name of a science (and also because I was thirsty) I tried...
Looking good, was it just the slightly bent burner bell on the No.96* causing problems? Wonder if something similar is happening on the Svea, the...
