Dear friends, I would like to share my latest aqcuisition, and to ask the learned community of kerosophical thinkers a couple of questions...
Great presentation @Twoberth . I was not aware that this Portuguese manufacturer was the last to make traditional kero stoves in Europe, and for...
Thanks for your comments guys. I can report that the stove performed well during this weekend’s overnight in the woods. Nice weather, but I was...

Dear friends, Last night I bought an old Optimus 00 which had not seen much use in decades. Having inspected and oiled the pump leather I quickly...
2pt Høvik Verk Standard with oversized silent burner and self made support ring and top plate. Looks good on full blast, but also does an...

Hi @kerophile - I have read the post by @thorbjorngjertsen, and he is absolutely right about the "winter diesel", more on that later. However, as...
@G1gop - I am glad your experience with BBQ lighting fluid aligns with mine. That would suggest the chemical composition is similar. White Spirit...
@Marc - Your 8 wick stove is obviously better than the one I have on the boat, where I have a 1000L diesel tank to tap into, but I found that my...
Hi Ed, I agree - and I believe that is what I said, with regards to anything with a pump and a jet nozzle. (Actually, this applies to normal...
Ah, the question of fuel. What good is a robustly engineered 90-year-old brass stove in all its simplistic glory if you cannot get your hands on...
