I've used VM&P naptha here in the US with no problems! Even at sub-zero F temps, it fired up in all my army-issue canister stoves.Occasionally,...
No, the threads are NOT compatible. A lot of auto parts stores have spouts that fit those cans, and other bottles.
I love mine, easy to maintain,decent amount of fuel when filled, as you said, simmer nicely, and of all my stoves, it was the easiest to mount a...
Guess I'm one lucky SOB, I got one of the last hand made caps before he went over to having them 3D printed!
A steel fount is a good thing - AGM was notorious for use crap brass for their later founts, damn things had more stress cracks then you could...
I've bent tubing and worked with thin-wall tunes by filling them with Wood's metal, work them like a solid bar of material. Wood's metal melts at...
Geez, you do the same thing sellers have done for years - Bidding starts at $1, shipping price is $600. Can't charge tax or withholding on...
I decided to test my M1950 canister stove by leaving it outside at -10 deg F overnight, and fire it up in the morning. The results? At -10 deg F,...
Given all the problems with those plastic pumps, I'm amazed that someone didn't make a aftermarket pump for those. I would think safety and...
I've got one here, put a spring and lock clip on mine. https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/sterno-folding-stove-lock.23825/#post-242902 Murph

Yep, it's a Primus 2260, one of the better gassies ever made! 1970's Grasshopper help ID'ing Murph
It is a Primus grasshopper stove, here they were sold and made to use propane bottles.
I've built the spark lighter on to my 502, makes for a fast start in bad weather! Coleman 502 WITH spark lighter! Murph
I'll take my 502, hands down! It simmers, easy to light, not touchy about it's fuel, CF, auto fuel, kerosene, gotta try E-85 soon. It's also...
@Jim Lukowski , you're right, CLF is based off kerosene, not worth dick in a 8R! Murph
@Harder D. Soerensen , right sharp eye you've got! I asked as to Imperial vs metric to shave down search time, no point going all out for a...
@Tony Press , first up, are the wrench flats metric or Imperial sizes? Could have been with a military stove - but who's? Murph
@Andrew Johanson , that stove looks a darn sight better cleaned. In the photo, it looked worse than it actually was! Here, a lot of guys got the...
Looking at the fount alone, and the rust, I'd have gone a tenner on the stove for parts, and naught more. Be concerned how far the fount was from...
