The Primus canisters are obsolete Sparky, but I've got three full ones and an empty one, which I'm experimenting with refilling. If that doesn't work too well, I'll be using a shorter (400ml) version of my MSR fuel bottle-based gas cartridge Scratch-built Hank Roberts gas cartridge equivalent The MSR bottle is of the same diameter as the Primus cartridges but is about an inch too long. I've a shorter Optimus fuel bottle on order that should do the trick. The wick feed should help resolve the Primus's failing of evaporative cooling of the butane in the cartridge reducing output.

for some reason i never seem to be able to take a good flame shot,but here is a pic of one of my favourite flame shots,it is for a monitor 17B touring stove The last pic of the Monitor 17B in flame is my favourite, as it is one of the best i have managed to take, and i realy like the orange streak of carbon, that came streaking out the top of the burner

I took some flame photos last night of my GK to illustrate a piece for the Stove Reference Gallery I wrote this morning, see here: https://classiccampstoves.com/posts/211780 Here are some photos: First the GK with a BernieDawg "Novadawg" silent damper: And with the BernieDawg Midicap: And another: And some with the standard flame spreader: And another: And finally one more:
I know its not much but its my first stove I bought myself back in 1981. But I love this little stove its my SVEA123R And thanks to ron the flame is back to its old self.
Viscara, a tip: Get close, real close, use a tripod, use a small aperture and use a self timer and shoot at night. This is how a SVEA 123 looks like at night:
Snowgoose, since you are already using a tripod, you should make sure to set the ISO-level low. That way you won´t get all that image noise.
