    OK I am curious
    I have the following Optimus stoves
    8R
    123
    99
    111
    22b
    80

    Primus Stoves

    What other ones come in boxes or cans?

    I really like the smaller ones rather than Primus No.5 etc

    Tons of them. Trawl through Stove Reference Gallery to seek them out.

    Some examples.

    Monitor Minor and Pifco Camper, both UK.

    Most manufacturers made some stoves that came in a ready to use case/can or metal box. If you are specifically after Primus or Optimus ones there are still many models.
    Some Primus ones are: 41, and the rare alcohol varieties; The precursor to the 71, the 70.
    Optimus made the 8 and 11 before the 8r & 111. There is also the 199

    If with “boxes” you include “tins” the list is nigh endless.

    No, no!! Don't do that!! You'll just end up wanting them all and spending all your time on eBay! Life was so much cheaper when I'd only heard of Primus. :roll: :whistle:

    Yes. yes it was. well not cheaper. I've just transferred my spending from bicycles/cameras/tramping gear to stoves. It's the extra shelves you have to buy to fit all the stoves in that gets you.
