really like that stove,but I do agree with john about the wick. The burner is very similar to our old oil burning Aga apart from the oil entered...
Your Handiware brought back memories, as a young child at the weekend during the late summer and autumn our family used to go for a picnic and...
This is a part of what this community is about, taking stoves that look ready for the junk pile and restoring them for future generations. My...
I must say I like this stove, it's compact design illustrates the thought processes of someone that if he or she were still alive would very much...
It's a nice bit of kit but seems to be a bit of a juxtaposition by Kovea to prime a paraffin stove with gas, a bit like using a paraffin lamp to...
Good post Terry, thanks for sharing the info. Malcolm
I'm sure I've read somewhere the phrase "Thou shall not covet thy neighbours camp stove" but in this case I'm prepared to make an exception........
Now you've got me started, I have a love-hate relationship with my Coleman 533 "Unleaded". I love the way it uses the same fuel as my motorcycle,...
Great job Steve (and Stu) a brand new old stove, well worth the effort. Malcolm.

What a lovely stove, I agree with the kero/paraffin fuel idea if it were a petrol stove it would more than likely have a regulator/on-off valve on...
Hi Wim nice find, reminds me of a "Handiware" meths stove my parents used on picnic days by the river when I was a child. In fact I've just had a...
Nice job Ron. Not sure if you've covered this with your instructor but you can turn hex and square bar in a lathe so when you are rummaging around...

Hi John, I nearly had a "Villiers inferno" in the late sixties. It was a hot sunny afternoon during the school summer holidays, my chum's father...
Interesting, this is a new one to me. I assume the non return valve in the burner is to prevent fuel spillage during transport but why the syringe...
