    Hello all,

    I have two Pigeon stoves coming my way :p but both of them are missing the pot supports.

    Does anyone out there have them that can either give me the specifications or fabricate a couple/ I would be willing to pay or trade.

    Thanks in advance! :mrgreen:

    Sorry the Pigeon and the Pigeon Ignus. They both look pretty similar with one having a chrome tank (and the Pigeon Ignus having brass).

    Thank you,

    Wow your a lucky guy John.

    I have been hoping to find one of these but to date none have shown up ... for a fare price that is.

    Sorry I can't help with the pot supports but looks like a good DIY project.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    Thanks Jeff,

    I feel pretty lucky supports or no supports. I expected to have to wait for years for a chance at 1 let alone to get 2. :mrgreen:

    That's mine - if you want measurements let me know. When not in use the holder is stored in the tin upside down.

    You have 2 variants of the Ignus there - that's good going! :) ;)

    Thank you all for the kind comments I really feel lucky to have an opportunity to acquire them. I do like some of the lamps too Kerophile! My wife tells me to focus on one hobby at a time! I only have the Britelyt 500CP for a lantern(nice one though) and no classic lanterns yet ;)

    I agree with your wife. focus on stoves for an hour, then focus on lamps for an hour, then focus on lanterns for an hour, go back to stoves, and start the process over. :roll: :roll: ;) ;) ;)

    I've been after a Pigeon for some time, I even have a scout doing car-boots in France and can't get one. I am green with envy.
    I do sheet-metal for a living and would gladly make you a pot support for the pleasure of it if you can supply a drawing, or put critical dimensions to the photo.(gauge of which metal, radius of case curve, heights at corners, dimensions of corner-squares etc.) It'll be light so the postage shouldn't be too high.

    That's taking 'bob-a-job' a bit far isn't it? :lol:

    You try finding a scout who knows what a bob is! Still, 5p a day is a fair rate, what?

    John,
    While I wait I got busy with craft knife and scissors. I can't seem to post pics on a PM.

    A bit out of focus but as soon as I get dimensions from the pattern we'll be away.
