That's my video. :-)
Repaired the hose by applying J-B Weld epoxy to the male fitting and then inserting into the hose. It's rated to 550F/288C and is working fine so...
Thanks Gavin. You've provided the missing puzzle piece. Some day curiosity will get the best of me and I'll order one. Would like a lower weight...
Agreed @haknuts . Liquid or gas stoves are a good solution for short term situations. Shouldn't be too hard to have enough kero or white gas to...
Correction to above post. It was @Hazet that suggested using the existing fuel line hole. Thank you sir.
OK, finished the project and decided to take Lars' ( @bem1965 ) advice about not modifying the Trangia base (for now). Turns out the fuel line nut...
Thanks for the update Brad. The Trangia certainly is a cold weather capable stove and I imagine it was meant to be such from the beginning.
@Gavin Mulholland , that looks like a Crusader II? Do you know the total weight of that kit? I've seen so many writeups on it but no one ever...
Brad, like you I saw the cold and snow as an opportunity to play. Broke out the 25 and a Clickstand. Also lit a Swedish Fire Torch that had been...
Another thought. In all the adapted stoves I've seen, only the burner bell is mounted. Playing with the Optimus adapter I discovered that the...
Thanks Lars. Fine job you've done there. Couldn't agree more about the Trangia's stability, not to mention how windproof it is. A recent winter...
It's a modern set. The contol handle for the spindle valve comes out the large hole in the screen but the small hole is way to small for the fuel...
Stumbled upon the Primus Omnifuel at B&H Photo for only $99 so I ordered one with plans of using it with a Trangia 25. I assumed the good price...
Doc, I'm sure you're not the only one who gets in trouble with their stoves when the wife is away. Glad to see you're making good use of your...
Thanks @haknuts . Yes the heat did damage the "rubber" hose in the crimp sleeve. Between the damage to the material and lack of access to what...
Heating the rigid fuel line damaged the connection with the flexible line and it came off. Suspected this would happen but threw caution to the...
@snwcmpr thanks. I'd try that but I believe the hose isn't detachable.
Curiosity got the best of me (no surprise), so I ordered a GoSystem Adapt, knowing that the rigid fuel line is angled too low to use it with a...
Stijn, glad my experiments were helpful to you. I took some heat back when I was going through the discovery process and asking a lot of questions...
Yes, a preheat tube is needed but just because a stove has one doesn't mean it will successfully work with canister inverted. This is a subject I...
