look for spider webs in the burner. not enough air getting in.
Picked up a Svea 123R this weekend at a swap meet. Unfired, in the box, for a good price. I didn't really need another one, but you know how it...
#1 is a lead melting pot. #3 is a barricade lantern as stated before. #4 appears to be a ships anchor lantern, although they normally weren't...
:lol: Just look for a flat rock. There's probably one under the tent.
Here's one I made out of a old aluminum pole light can, a stainless coffee maker basket, and a fan from a computer. Works great. I power it with...
Thanks guys. This is the second time I've had to clean out a friends shop, and it SUCKS. At least I have some wonderful memories of beer drinking...
Among all my stoves, the one I USE when I go backpacking or anywhere else is my trusty 123 that I got in about 1972. It's never let me down...

As promised, here are some pictures of the stove in operation. I fueled it with some twigs and pieces of bark I found around the yard. It didn't...
Hi there. I put a stainless steel plate about 1/4in from the bottom of the basket to shield the fan from the heat. I also drilled a few extra...
Will do. I'll have to dig it out and take some.
I don't think the plastic cover is just for shipping. It's hard plastic with a lip around the edge and a little drip spout. It has holes in it to...
I saw the Sierra(?) rocket stove one time and I thought I could make something better. The case is an old aluminum can from a 70's ploe lamp....
