Greetings, All, Some years ago, I was blessed to have found a brand new, in the box, Optimus Ranger #10! I really wanted to fire it up, but decided to keep it mint, instead. Somewhat later, I was opining to a friend in Norway that I really wanted to fire up my #10, but would rather find another one, and thus have one to show and one to use! He got back to me, and offered me another brand new, in the box Optimus Ranger #10! How could I refuse?! As soon as it arrived, I fired up my original #10, and was more pleased than I can say! Using ONLY KEROSENE, it burns clean and very hot! It also simmers very well, indeed! Here are some photos of the "show" stove: Everything is really crammed in there, but it does fit! Are these instructions inside the lid in Swedish, or Norwegian? Here's a peek at the proprietary windscreen. It's different than on the 8R, or other such box stoves. And it "just" fits inside the case, between the burner and fuel tank. All setup, and ready to go! Here are the instructions, including the parts diagram. A little better view of he parts diagram. And, now, some of the "user" Ranger #10. Sorry for the lack of sharpness. My fault. But, you can see this little monster is a real powerhouse, for such a small stove! Some folks have complained that their Ranger #10 stove overheated, and blew the Safety Release Valve. I strongly believe that those who complained very well might have used the wrong fuel in their stove. In the times I have used it, it's never given me even a hint of over-heating! YES, the tank does get very hot. But, burning good, clean, K1 Water White kerosene does not over-heat the stove, PERIOD! This little guy is dependable, and easy to use. For it's size, I don't think it has any real competitors, IMHO. Thanks for checking it out, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc (Who is blessed to have two of these little Monsters! Pure Class in their design, and function!)
