Hi Micke, I have great interesting in a double burner with regulated silent burners, like yours. If you have some time, please post more pictures and some details close too. When I get the chance to get one, will try to perform an "white gas conversion" (hope it's just a matter of changing jets) and put it to use for my bolognese sauce, goulash and general slow cooking stews. Congrats on your stove, it's really beautifull! Rafael
Oi Rafael Olhe aqui pra ver algumas detalhes. Quer usar com gas? Once I posted some photos of my 527 with some details. Why do you want to use it with gas? regards: Endy
Hi Endy! I can see you do speak a little portuguese! I had the chance to take a view on your stove and also on almost every two burner stove I could find. I like tiny stoves to take on trips (Optimus 00 for example). But also like the ranges very much. I plan to make a little cottage in the woods so it could serve me well as a secondary range to slow cooking dishes. Of course, just for the pleasure we all share to put a good stove to use. The white gas conversion, for me, is a must. I only can imagine the kerosene you find in your countries is not the same kerosene we have in Brazil. Here, our kerosene is smelly, dirty, oily, yellow, sooty, cloggy, expensive (more than car gas, for example). I'm tired of filtering it several times with almost no noticeable results. I hope I can find a good clean filtered kerosene here but it seems I'm still too far. White gas, on the other way around, smells good, evaporates if spilled (with no residual odor), burns clean, doesn't clog, no soot, almost no underprime problems. It's (far) more expensive than kerosene but for me worth every cent. Also it seems to me that the conversion is easy. The kerosene burner has more tubes than white gas ones so no problems vaporizing the white gas. If you have regulated burners when proper jets, I think they'll burn the white gas normally. Don't you? Rafael
It may be easy to do but there are also safety considerations. Most kero ranges do not have srv valves in the tank caps, these are a must for using white fuels. I am sure someone can advise you which ranges suit white fuel. Have a look at primus 77 stoves or coleman suit case stoves as these are made for white fuel. Dan
Never thought about a safety valve, great tip. Of course, prior to do a white gas conversion, I'll search this forum, for I don't think I'm the first one who has this idea. If I can't manage to find in Brazil a kerosene range, there's the possibility of new Optimus 155W in some retailers in Europe, wich I think its beautifull (although very expensive!). Thanks, Rafael
Hy rafael As I lived in Brasil I bought kerosene in a painting-shop (pintor). They sell it in 1l cans. Not very cheap but almost the same stuff as they sell over here in germoney. Cheers: Endy
I always run white gas in all my stoves since its way more cheaper than actual kerosene! where i live - totally bonkers but im not complaining, white gas is so much cleaner. Never had to convert anything - it runs great in all my primus stock kerosene jets.
I have this exact stove but unrestored so far needed color inspiration and ive found it! Mine is a 1938 model so green it will be.
