Phoebus No.725 - silent



Pharael.

 

Very nice! I just bought a 725, haven't fired it yet, but it didn't come with a silent burner unfortunately.

 

Primus No 51, first time lit in many decades.

 

@GibsonsRavinePark2 you'll have to post a photo of it! I also have one and I have a Czech version

That is a BD (Bernie Dawg) silent cap which I added to my 725.

Nice

 

Wow, it's not a camping stove anymore, it's a volcano! Everything is red.

 

Primus No.4 (1940)


A wonderful stove - one of my favourites…

Pharael.

 

Phoebus 30 on coffee... interesting that the burner is a little closer to the pot... Like a Vesta

 

Enders 9061D, love the burner on this stove, and just about everything else too. Unfortunately the regulator leaks, so if it's going any harder than simmer, I get a flame coming from the fitting. Probably needs new graphite.

 

Testing an early Svea 123.

MSR Firefly that will wake up everyone at camp...

 

@Remus1956 do you like that one? I’ve been tempted to grab one from eBay but I haven’t yet. I do own a few MSR stoves WhisperLite international, XG, XGK EX and a couple others

 

@Pancho yes it's a good stove. The pot on mine was pretty smashed but was very easy to straighten out. I like the pot better than the folding aluminum windscreen honestly. Stove is very much like a dragonfly... It's very loud. It's tall like a Primus no 1. Mine was changed out to the newer hose and the pump is one of the older yellow types but it's working (though I'm rebuilding the pump just for the hell of it).
It has a wingnut on the bottom that keeps the legs locked in position which I like better than the whisperlites that sit in those slots on the burner bell.... Feels solid when it's locked up.
Cooking wise.... Hmm.... Well it's kind of big as I said and could think of smaller stoves I would use if I was backpacking as taking the windscreen bowl with is not an option unless you nest it into some other large bowl... But as a car camp stove it's great. With the remote tank I can run it all day long and not have a problem.
I used to work at a camping store called REI for few years back in the day when this was fazed out and dragonflies and whisperlites were the thing to get and owned all of the msr types. This is the only one I kept...I just gave away or traded everything else. I have never had it fail...and hated the other stoves needing that crappy aluminum foil plate to work in the wind.... This stove works great in the wind with that screen on it...

 

It was time for them to get up anyway! The lazybones

 

@Fettler audio assault at 6am haha

 

@Remus1956 thanks for the info.

you say it is loud but more loudest than an XGK EX? The EGK EX sound like if you have peaked a jet in your garage or backyard

 

@Pancho not that bad but like a little louder than a dragonfly. It's not as bad unless you put that bowl windscreen on it... Kind of amps up the loud haha
