I seem to have a very well-built Firejet, but aware as I am about the lack of spares, I wanted to keep it safe in a rucksack. Asda to the rescue...
Just fired it up, its pretty impressive :lol:
Thanks barrabruce, leather cap is nicely oiled but the O-Ring on the fuel line was just screaming for some lubrication as it got screwed in. :thumbup:
Hi all, I just received a Sigg Firejet off a popular auction site. It looks barely used, but I have a question regarding the pump. Should the...
I do like a cast iron pan, which is why I'm glad the No12 is ok, because I wouldn't trust my other smaller stoves, including an Optimus 111, with...
