Oh ho! Lovely little tool. I’m glad you posted that while it was new, it looks so smart and won’t look like that again. It’s good to know that there are other primitives around.
Kelly Kettle Hobo burning birch. Tarry Tarry Night but it looks good. Wait………… Wait……… NOW you can cook S’mores.
@Jukka Pekka and @Pattree I enjoyed seeing the Kelly Kettle! I have one, but I have not put it into action yet. @Francisc Masec Cool flame shots. I can almost smell the coffee perking on that 111T Cheers Guys and thanks for sharing!
Test-firing a new-to-me 123R back in spring of 2021. (Thanks @Harder D. Soerensen !) My grandfather's 123 (non-R). My mother doesn't remember it so he probably bought it as a backpacking stove when the kids (i.e. my mother and aunts) had grown up and left home: An Enders 9060D inherited from an uncle and fettled over the winter of 2022 with much help from this forum, now reliable enough to take camping. I need to remember to take more pictures: usually when I see pretty stove flames I just stare at them in silence.
There is something about the contrast between blue flame and red hot metal that is highly engaging. I wonder why.
I'm not sure, but there's something about the constant flowing change of the flame that makes it look alive. Flames and running water are two things I can stare at for long periods without getting bored. Stable, but never static. And yes, the red-hot metal + blue flame combination is particularly pretty.
