Nahh , you wouldn't ...........You'd have a very capable cooking system . Equally valid :- Possibly more so as it conducts the heat up the side of the pan & the pans dont have the nasty Sigg tourist location step in their bases .... Put the Guts of a 111 in a Trangia ... or Clone ............ Both set ups would be overkill and still acquire the weight of the 111s very 'solid' tank . This road has been travelled before ... with interesting Results ............... FRANKENSTOVE The above Im considering a 'sweeter' set up than the guts of a 111'melded' into the side of a Sigg set ........... But has a major disadvantage ( in my mind) in as much as you cant use Paraffin (kero) ... Another, possible disadvantage is that you may prefer a silent burner .............. Plus its quite an 'involved ' modification to the stove part of the assembly . xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WANTED ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Sub 1Kw, Lightweight , Reliable ,Adjustable , Silent Burner ..... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .... ..... ..... Id give a Trangia a go ... damn near 'bombproof' 8) Bloody stoves ............ Why cant i 'Just say NO' Nick
Why mess about trying to make a 111T fit when an Explorer 11 is made for the job? (Who am I to ask a Q. like that? )
Hey, Ian, I laughed, right out loud, when I read your statement and question above!!!! Hell, I'm STILL laughing!! Very well done, Mate! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc P.S. Good call on the Explorer #11, Ian!! I'll give that a try!
My multi-fuel jet and alcohol jet have no markings whatsoever. I tell them apart by the size of the hole. That works for what i have... but if you had all of the proper jets it would be a pain.
Hey 111T your right .,identifying the alcohol jet is easy because the hole is almost twice the size as the multifuel jet. But i can't tell the difference from the gas to the multifuel as they look pretty much identical...to my eyes anyways Take care
Hey, Ian, After my last reply to your question, I remembered exactly why combining the 111 type stove with the Sigg kit was so attractive to me in the first place. It's to get rid of the "plug and play" aspect of the #11, or any similar stove. One thing that I've long distrusted about such stoves, though in truth, I've had little problem with it, is the reliance upon rubber gaskets in the critical connections. IF I can get the 111, 111B, or 111T to fit inside a Sigg kit, then I've got an "all in one" unit that never needs to be disassembled, and should work until the cows come home, with no leakage, and less gasket worries. Ahhhh..... that feels better, now!! I knew there was a reason why this combo attracted me, but only just remembered what it was!!! One foot in the grave and the other....... well, I can't remember where the other foot is, but it's "slippery", where ever it is!!! Damn, it's hard to get old and forgetful!! However, your comment about the #11 WAS a good one, and I think a test if on the horizon! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Hey Doc is this what you mean? I downloaded this photo into my computer several months ago then i saved onto a disc then deleted it from my computer.Took me a few days to find it but here it is . Looks pretty good to me What do you think? Take care
Hey, alnl1996, Yeah, that's sort of what I have in mind. I think that set-up was originally posted by DSK, or one of our other Noregian Brothers. My idea is not to have the fuel tank fixed to the windscreen, as is the one in the photo, but rather just slid inside. I'll dig out the damaged Sigg kit that Gerry gave me, and to snipping. When I do, I'll post photos of the set-up, and a report about how it works. Thanks for the reminder, Sir! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Would this not render the Frankenstove pretty bulky for backpacking though ? Kinda defeats the purpose ... Explorer #11 and Trangia combo. You know it makes sense ... and I really should get the finger out and order the adaptor for my #11 burner. I've also been giving some thought to using a spare 111 tank coupled to an adjustable Hipolito silent burner ... (remember that Doc?) inside a Trangia windshield. If that could be safely rigged as a plug-n-play setup I think it could be a serious contender too.
Hey, Spudz, Good to hear from you, Lad! Regarding the bulk of what I have in mind, if it fits inside a Sigg Tourist cookset, then it's "slim" enough for my purposes. Again, what I'm trying to obviate is the actual "plug and play" aspect to it all. If the single unit, of 111 type burner/fuel tank, can stay together, as it is designed to do, and if it can be made to fit inside a Sigg kit, then I think it can be a very serious contender for use whilst backpacking. This entire idea came from a book on backpacking, that was published, if I recall correctly, in the mid 1960's. So, even then, they were trying to figure out how to use a good 111 stove, without the big steel case in which it came/comes!! 8) I like the fact that there is nothing to assemble with this rig, and that there are no real seals to go South on you, other than the fuel cap gasket, and the NRV, which should last for years, or even longer. We'll see how it all turns out. In truth, you are right, however, as is Ian, in that a good #11 Explorer will mate up to a Trangia kit, as will a Nova, and a few other burners, and this will give you a wonderfully efficacious backpacking stove, that is very reliable, and works a treat. Still........ I have the "need" to see if the 111 thing will work, and so will mess with it, whenever I get the time to do so. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
