Here's a stove I found with an unusual silent burner cap. Instead of flame holes in the burner cap there are flame slots instead. Makes for an interesting flame. It is called Iris, which is engraved on the tank and stamped in the pan ring. There's an inscription that it was made in Germany, but that is it. Some unusual things to notice: 1. The really large pump handle. 2. The Monitor Regal-like priming burner. 3. The slotted diagonal silent burner cap. 4. The NRV down in the pump tube. Here you go.... Flames next...
Very interesting indeed. It really is great that members find these old stoves and variations of burners that we would otherwise we totally unaware of. Thanks for posting this unusual item.
HI idahostoveguy. Really beautiful flame !! nrv check valve look like german lantern style. and interesting bottom furrow. jerry can system? thanks sharing for us !! Gunsoo
Very nice. Do the slots make it any more or less silent than other silent burners of a comparable size? regards John
Thanks everyone! It did just 'fall into my hands' and the stove has many unusual features. The burner is what surprised me since it was obscured in any photos the seller had of it. I thought it was just the run-of-the-mill brass kerosene stove, that is, until I unpacked the stove and got a really close look. It was a WOW moment for me. Hopefully, I've done it some justice.... Also, I believe this to be pre-WWII as well. There a symbol of some dragons and a star of David in the middle of it. Maybe I could submit a picture so you can see it for yourselves. At full power all you could hear was the hiss of the jet and no combustion noises coming from the burner cap. I kept checking it to make sure it was really burning. To gauge how hot the flame was I had a kettle on that I used to cook up a litre of water within 5 minutes. So it was working properly, but very silently. Probably a little quieter than an Optimus 111T or Primus No. 5. sam
Sam If you have a look on the link below http://translate.google.co.uk/trans...hand+351&rlz=1W1MXGB_enGB509&biw=1152&bih=606 and then click on the link for : Ehrich & Graetz catalog of 1931, Berlin, Iris is mentioned there. I have come across two Iris stoves, on this site, but I cant find them for looking now.
