Optimus 111 'OHO' with special box from Taiwan

Hello all


Ever since I saw Bernie Dawgs brilliant post about Shelterbox Nomad boxed Optimus stoves, I have always been looking for one like it. Check the link below. This summer I found one similar on Ebay from Taiwan. And when I had an unused Optimus 111 without box , I ordered one. Box is quite well made of 1,2 mm stainless steel welded together. No sharp edges. Dimensions are 105x195x235 mm ( HxWxL ). With the Optimus 111 installed the weight was 3 kg pluss. I made two modifications. One for fastening the control wheel and for the small wrench I pot riveted a clip to hold it. I have not yet fired it up but will soon. The box also came with a carying case.

Really nice looking case!

 

Very well made, shows how clever people can be

 

I have been eyeballing those cases and was going to use it as an excuse to rescue a 111. I just don't have a 111 yet lol. Excellent set up ! Thanks for feeding my stovepox

 

Thanks Bjorn.

Ah hah! Cookie you're in Florida and you've found this case, cool.
Cookie, all,
Our site frowns upon posting ebay links, except in Auction watch, can anyone provide the exact title to aid with an ebay search.
You might even include price w/comment... BIN or sold price if available.
I myself, and others too likely, find it is an interesting option and those of us who have not yet seen it offered would be interested to learn more.
Thx omc
PS OHO # on case, OHO logo on bag and case

 

Yes, OHO indeed.
Just search for oho stove case, and you will find them.

There's also a version made for Radius 12 (and probably also No.10), and that's even more interesting since these tanks with burner often pop up alone on their own, without the stove range they belonged to.

 

VERY sturdy case! Rivet for jet&packing key clip seems a bit weird?

 

@Afterburner
I fixed the clip by riveting it in place. I did not want to have the key rattling around in the box.What is weird about that ? Use bolt and nut maybe ?

Looks good!

 

@OMC sent you a pm

on ebay search for "OHO 3S Stove Case for Optimus 111 - with bag - Stainless Steel"

I was searching to make a perfect emergency stove for long term use during hurricanes and such. Not really looking for something lightweight since it will stay here at home. I have other stoves for carrying purposes.

 

@boknasild Ok, it was a DIY fix. I thought that it was original. Everything else is welded so rivet for the clip seemed a bit weird for me. Also rivet is extending from the surface so that increased weirdness factor few microns.

 

Hi @boknasild when I was rebuilding an Op.111T I had to re-attach a closure spring clip. I did not have access to a spot welder, so re-attached the spring closure catch by drilling a hole and using a stainless steel button-head bolt and lock-nut. It works well and looks neat:

Optimus 111T rebuild.

@kerophile
Yes I remember reading the post of your rebuild. I just had to use what I had available. This stove is heavy so it will stay in the car.

Hello

Thanks to one of the subscribing members I was reminded to do a test fire up. First I replaced the roarer with a silent burner. The half liter of cold tap water boiled in 5 minutes. Pleae see the photos. The stove functions very well.

Very nice

 

Well done.

 

Hello all

I member here told me this combination of burner and case looks similar to Svea 158. I agree as you for instance can open up the side panel and insert the regulating wheel
I have always wanted a Svea 158 but the price they fetch is out of my reach.
