No doubt that canister stoves are convenient. What I consider the major drawbacks of canisters are the amount of waste, and the difficulty of...
The idea behind the "contest" was mostly to get an excuse to play with the stoves... But still; two stoves of similar size but with very different...
Intrude away :) As long as it's related to a stove it's all good. No, your experience doesn't match mine. The prickers that came with mine work...
Yes, the 123 fits nicely in the Snow peak 900 (the smaller of the two). Nice little pot. I've used the combo a bit, and it's quite functional and...
I would use it. Or rather: I buy stoves because I want to use them. If I for some reason wouldn't want yo use it (too expensive, too fragile or...
- Optimus 111 - Optimus 00 or Primus 210 - Svea 123 - Trangia 25 - Primus Omnifuel The order of the entries may change depending on my mood, the...
Ken, your experiences seem to match mine. When I just filled up the priming cup with alcohol, I felt the preheating was a bit lacking. The priming...
Hi arson, glad you liked it! The Manaslu 96 is a great stove, very nicely finnished. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Thanks for your comments! Indeed. Reliable test data require careful planning, a large number of tests and so forth. I didn't even check the...
My primary reason for filling the hose with fuel, is to have instant (nearly) response when opening the valve after priming. The whole process...
Since I own two 96 size stoves, I thought it could be fun for them to particpate in a friendly little competition. The older competitor is an old...
I've used/tested the stove a few times now. Burning kero and preheating with meths works out very well. The stove comes with a wick that works...
I too feel a bit safer using kero. Hence my first post in this thread. I consider it a must however to preheat with meths. Preheating with kero is...
Stan, the phrase "meths" in my case is not accurate. The stuff we can buy here in Norway is ethanol based with some additives to make it...
Thanks for your comments Doc; I seem to be on the right track then. Good to know! Regarding the wick/pad, mine is simply a small piece of mineral...
I have been thinking a little ](*,) If I was burning gasoline, I would also prime with gasoline, just as described in the manual. But I'm...
OK, the Whisperlite (Universal) has landed - and burned. It was set up for canister gas, so first thing to do was reconfigure for kero. Straight...
Cool little stoves! The burner of #2 seems quite interesting.
From my point of view: if there is a windscreen I'm using it; wind or no wind.
Thanks for your replies! Definitely a Universal then. I'll pick one up and report how it works.
