    Bought this one last week, come home to its tender loving caring new home today! :D/ :lol:
    As can be seen in the photo's, it came with 2 MSR bottles (one very small, and a, ehr, less small one!). The one stopper that came with them does not fit well (to big). Also included are windscreen, pump, pricker, .28 nipple, tool and bag. The small Trangia kettle (0.6liter) I used also came from the same seller. As I bought a small Trangia set sans kettle earlier on I was lucky this guy had one for sale!
    The fuel bottles had been washed out thoroughly with water and were still wet so I used a can of Coleman gas to test the stove. It works very well, full blast is RATHER LOUD and it simmers well too. All in all, I think this was a good deal. Enjoy the photo's!

    Nice buy. i always think of these as a mountain climbers' stove and not for a day hike cup of tea.
    The small bottle would be just right for pre-heat fuel. I also think it's sort of odd to have an old stove tool Like a pricker with a very modern stove.
    Send lots of actions photos this summer----

    Loud!!! Yes! I had one of those years ago and sold it because of the noise. I like my Coleman 400 and Svea 123 much better.

    Can't go wrong with the Himalaya Multifuel. Definitely a blast furnace. The ability of gas canister is a big plus too.
