Hi Kerophile,

Do you have any of these burner washers to suit the Primus #3 burner? The O/D of the washer seat is 22mm, whilst the diameter of the hole is 16mm.

Best regards

Baz

 

If kerophile does not have these burner washers, start a Conversation with Spiritburner (Fettlebox) and if he does not have them he will custom make them for you.

 

Hi, I do not have HR washers for these larger stoves. It would not be economically viable to have them made.

However, here is what I have done in the past for my own needs, and for one or two CCS stove friends:

For your situation where you ask for a 22mm OD, 16 mm ID washer.

I. Get a piece of heat resistant non-asbestos gasket material around 1.5mm thick and cut two section approx 25mm square.

2. Punch a hole 16 mm diameter at their centre.

3. Fit your new washer onto the burner, then screw the burner into the upstand from the tank. Hand-tight will do.

4. Take a sharp knife or blade and carefully cut the excess washer material from around the hex of the burner.

5. Repeat the operation to produce a second HR washer.

6. Assemble the burner head and spirit cup, with one HR washer either side of the Spirit cup, and tighten just enough to get a gas-tight seal. If you over-tighten you can destroy the washers.

Your local garage should be able to provide a small piece of suitable gasket material.

PLAN B:

Do what Trevor says and send a message to Ross.

Best Regards,
Kerophile.

 

Great tutorial.
I’ll pm you ref. The Parasene England stove. Thanks
Brian.

 

I'm also looking for a few heat/fuel resistant washers, that have a 0.7" inside diameter.
Any suggestions?
My favorite camp stoves, which I regularly use, are the lite-weight "Primus 00" - and the incomparably rugged "Aieda."

Hi Kerophile,
