For anyone in the Northern Virginia/DC area, the Citgo stations in Falls Church and Merrifield have clear K-1 kerosene pumps. Last weekend it was...
True. I guess the Trangia would lose much less heat in windy conditions. Unfortunately I don't have a Trangia to do a head-to-head test with a...
Well, I just ordered the cookset. Thanks for enabling me Itchy. Always wanted a proper alcohol stove/cookset. Not sure if this being a Trangia...
I considered the Reactor... but the Jetboil won out for me in efficiency, price, and weight. My wife and I had to carry gear and food for the...
Itchy, you suspected correctly. :P I already have a Jetboil that we use backpacking, so the canister stove is covered. Canister stoves are so...
Has anyone tried this Esbit cookset? It is competitively priced with Trangia sets and includes two heat exchanger pots, which seems would be...
I was in the same position recently after purchasing an XGK military. The GK jet is much improved over the XJ when using white gas or kero. More...
Thank you for the tips. So even though the fuel bottle on the EX can be rotated while leaving the burner in place, the consensus is this causes...
Which one is easier to clear? I don't know the international but the XGK EX is very easy to clean or perform PREVENTATIVE maintenance. Like after...
I received a GK jet from MSR and now it burns super hot with Coleman fuel. I have been playing with the stove a lot and really like it. For kicks...

Great! Thanks. I tried it with the K-1 Kero... It burned super hot. After a slowish start (should have primed with more alcohol) it started...
Yonadev, Thanks, I'll have to try that. In the meantime I tried the JP8 jet with Coleman Fuel. It burned hot and blue (as far as I could tell...
Thanks guys! So which jet would have a larger orifice, the one for diesel or JP8?
Hello all. Been a while since I posted but I continue to take in all of the insight. I just received one of the military XGK models optimized...
This has happened to me with many Colemans that have sat for a while. I soak with a bit of carb cleaner for a day and that usually solves it....
I also have been using the Coleman pot with my 123. I don't bother bringing the cup that came with the 123 though. Great tip on the tubing,...
Yeah, I've been thinking and I may just save up for one of the Japanese refueling adapters that Jim wrote about. They look well built. Seems like...
Jim, I thoroughly enjoy all of your blog posts. Can you please tell me where this three-legged stand can be found? I scoured ebay to no avail...
These are very nice stoves. Where can one find them for sale? Marcus
