I'm back after almost a year - last time it was for my Gypsy, this time another rare one - possibly an only one? I picked up an O'keefe & Merritt Cook Quick stove (no tag or label) - possibly a Model 12? very similar but not quite the same. How can I know its an O'keefe & Merritt Cook Quick stove? its nearly identical with one posted by MartyJ adn Daryl, as wel as onne on the Terrence Marsh site. Same basic box, same tank/genny and mounting for it. The differences? The side wind screens on mine are lacking on theirs, and the burner grates on mine are larger Diameter, and the sheet metal splash guard holes on mine are not in a straight line front and rear. As found: You can see the "water line" for the tank; apparently stored in a bucket! It came from a yard sale and isn't even classifiable as "barn fresh" more like "junk-pile fresh" (my Gypsy was barn fresh...) The tank has hooks for the lower rectangular slots, and that wire up high slides out of the way to allow the genny to slot in, and then retains it afterwards. Like this: The burners are very similar to the AGM KK 3's, 5's, and similar, the pump, despite its appearance and abuse, actually works! It is missing the legs that slot in here, but those should be an easy fab job later: I've been able to ID the three model 12's (T. mash site, MartyJ and Daryls) then mine. but no advertisements and minimal other info on these stoves or related. Not sure they aver made many other stoves.
