    Perfect!

    Is the control knob original?

    Howdy, Iani,

    Wonderful 625, Sir, and working just as it should! For Winter camping, with a good windscreen, it's a very hard stove to beat.

    I have three of these great stoves, one brought back from Austria, new in it's box and can, by my sweet Mother-in-law! All of them had the regular Phoebus regulating spindle, with the round, red knob. I'm thinking that your all steel regulating spindle knob is a replacement, as I've never seen one like yours before. Any info on that knob? Thanks for sharing your fantastic 625, and for the wonderful photos! Take care, and God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc

    Ian, where are you getting all these stoves from??
    Yet another crackin' stove.

    The 625 is a robust stove that burns very well.
    The only thing I do not like about it is the priming indentation at the top of the tank.
    It means that the paint in the indentation gets burned and blistered from its very fist firing.
    Also, if the priming is overfilled or the stove is knocked while priming, then burning meths streams down the painted tank sides.

    Some people adapt the stove so that a spirit cup can be used. I tend to light mine by heating the burner tube with a small blowtorch.
    Of course, this is my own gripe because I like a stove to look 'nice'. 1353154274-muttlaugh.jpg

    Like many stove manufacturers, that use regulated burners, Phoebus often changed their designs, and in some cases went back to using earlier designs.
