Nice one!
@Optimust, Thank you very much for the info. This stove indeed is a keeper, with a nice amount of power. I'm planning to do some small...
@kerophile, thanks! Yes, that model on your link looks exactly like what I got but then with a white knob.
Since buying my 8 and 8R some weeks ago I decided that the next right thing to do is look for an 111B. Browsing through the reference list I...
Ah, OK, My 8 has a small slot so to me it is quite surprising that they chose an universal wider slot later for the 8R and subsequently...
On my 8R in 8 box with nickel tank there is indeed no doubt that it was designed with the tank outlet off-center. The slot in the heat shield is...
The "new" 8 had some strange fuel in it, almost smelling like turpentine, and with a strange burning smell too. But I added Coleman Fuel and after...
What to say... Judging from your words I have been lucky so far. But can it be that certain regions have more specimens for offer than others? For...
Dear @kerophile, thanks again for the tip! I just realised that the chosen word "pricker" might be 'interesting' to some and in any case a bad...
So I was looking for an 111 but the ones online are too expensive or new for my taste so I just bid on an Optimus 8 (and it got accepted). I'm...
Just joking on the sea foam! Being into classic cars I've seen people burn it to clean their engine... @ajvuik thanks for the picture!
@Murph I like the idea! Right now with the ibrik it's a (minor) accident waiting to happen. Benefit would be that I can fire it up again for a new...
Hi @ajvuik ! Indeed a Low Lands Stovie, Leuk (nice)! Yes, I indeed bought it via Marktplaats but did not know it was nickel (nor knew that it...
Hi @Simes , You will have a hard time spoiling my day, I am a happy camper after all:lol: Second, it's a lovely subject and I do like the looks...
This is already becoming an interesting thread to me, Thanks! But is Optimus the only brand making these (original) types of stoves?
Exactly! I got triggered when I saw the first picture at the https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/bacon-on-a-111.38660/ discussion (mmmm, Bacon!)...
Now that I am a new owner to an Optimus 8R I was wondering: what models of single-burner box-contained stoves exist and what is your absolute...
Wish I could read Swedish. So I have an Optimus 8RF? Then I was misled since the seller said it was an 8R :p
That design is so outer space and looks bullet proof at the same time
That's a lot of Ibriks you have there! I just basically took the first vessel from the window sil that my wife would not care too much about if...
