    This is a Tibco 2 burner stove, made in New Zealand. Purchased for the grand sum of $20

    Steel tank and copper piping, seems basically made compared to the Swedish stoves.

    I have only replaced the seals and fired it up, has quite an impressive heat output from the 2 primus burners

    Looks really solid. Thanks for the post. I hadn't seen anything with that brand before.

    Looks like its locally manufactured. Am I correct? Nice suitcase type stove.

    Yes Ron, these were made in Auckland, NZ using primus burners. Dont have any info on the company and i guess they would be uncommon outside of NZ.

    I just got one of these, I was surprised to see that the burner caps have 5 rows of holes. I agree that the quality is not as high as a optimus stove but I am having trouble thinking of another, kero suitcase stove with primus silent burners.
