Case lid stamping of this German military stove. Carrying handles and case latch. The opening in the lower section of the case allows the fuel valve control knob and cleaning needle control lever to be ‘pulled out’ when the stove case has been fully opened. In the following overhead picture, the burner off-set, relative to the pot supports can be clearly seen. This off-set is required to allow the burner located in its own guide rail (along with the two connected pot supports), to have enough forward space to move into, so as to allow the tank to then be able to fit into the vacated space left behind as the lid is closed. The burner provides a wide circle of flame and a *pot or *pan can still be positioned reasonably central to the burner. *base diameter, no larger than 26cm. The fuel valve control knob and cleaning needle control lever shown here in close up, in their ‘stored’ position inside the case. Both the fuel valve control knob and cleaning needle control lever are on connected extendable shafts which are pulled out as shown below, when the stove is in use. With the cleaning needle lever in the ‘upright’ position, the cleaning needle is deployed. The lever is turned to the ‘downward’ position (lowering the cleaning needle) when the burner is ready to be lit. In this picture, it can be seen how the two extendable shafts are linked together via the (arrowed) discs. Burner and integrated flame spreader cap. Filling the ‘heart-shaped’ preheat cup without spilling denatured alcohol into the case, is somewhat tricky with this stove. I have found that the combination of fitting a thick glass fibre wick into the preheat cup and using a blunt syringe to administer the denatured alcohol reduces this probability, considerably. The wick also increases the efficiency of preheating of the burner. Fuel jet and cleaning needle. Pump rod and handle (fully extended). A spare tank filler cap and seal is included, which is screwed into its own holder located on the lid. A very comprehensive set of spare parts is provided in this round tin which locates into its own storage clip. This picture shows the full spare parts kit that was issued in the tin. A (chained) wrench is also provided which also has its own dedicated storage clip. Unlike this 9061’s civilian counterpart, the 9061D, Enders did not supply a funnel for this stove. The military specification of the 9061 would be based on durability and minimal breakable parts - and so I guess a funnel did not meet that criteria. Operating instructions label. …the English translation of the operating instructions is here. All in all, the 9061 is a very cleverly designed military stove which showcases German engineering at its finest. Pharael.
Great presentation, and a beautiful example of this stove @Pharael Is the parts kit all original or did you need to restock it? I love the engraved wrench, never seen that before.
