This is one of my all time favorites. They simmer better than anything else IMO. The large fount carries enough fuel for a whole weekend. A tad...
I've never heard the "no wind screen" admonition for the Svea 123(R) before. If you consider the wonderful Sigg Tourist set, clearly the bottom...
I don't know how to date this any better than you've done. It is clearly a 123 and not a 123R -- the slight downward angle on the stem is apparent...
Send me the unfired 123 and I will take the worry off your shoulders for you. I won't even tell you what I decide to do, if you really want to be...
Who'd'a thought? Great find.
No stove I've ever used has a better simmer than the Coleman 508 -- the variant with two levers. The red lever is simply on-off. The black lever...
I'm a fan of Brasslite Stoves. I love the way they look and operate. They are not the smallest or lightest meths stove out there but they are my...
I picked up this 2 oz. squirt bottle at REI. The long spout makes it easy to get the right amount of alcohol into the spirit cup. [ATTACH]
Yonadav, I used what I think was that same pic for my desktop a few years ago. Like you, I left it small.
Thanks, Jim. A great review as always.
Wow! I think this was my first post! Several 8Rs and a couple of 111s later, I'm amazed to see this thread pop back up. Man, I've learned a lot in...
Beautiful example of the Optimus No. 1!
Way cool, thanks.
How unfortunate. I agree with the guy at MSR, it was a fine stove. It was a much better stove than the Whisperlite. Which lives on. I see they...
I have been using the GSI Soloist for about 5 years with the Svea 123R. GSI Soloist It is very similar to the Coleman set, although just about...
Over on Trailspace, someone has posted a thread about an ammo can stove they just bought. Here is the URL: Ammo Can Stove
Never seen one quite like it. This is not evidence of rarity. I think it looks really cool.
Lord, don't get rid of a 425! I don't think calling it "iconic" is going too far. You may not use it, but unless you are really hurting for...
I've got to say, after reading so many good suggestions, that I'm in with the Coleman 425 + propane generator suggestion. I got the generator at...
Welcome aboard! I have stopped asking why, and just go quietly about my business, looking around for the stove that I just have to have next....
