    I have a Primus No51 where the jet threads are stripped (not my doing).
    Tilly Lamps and Stoves has two replacement burners, one for Primus No210 and for No5.
    Can someone tell me which will work with my No51.
    Thanks,
    Cliff :-)

    Hello and Welcome Cliff. The No.5 burner is the right size for the stove and will work, but is of the silent pattern- the No.51 would have had a roarer pattern when new. If you want to locate one of these I believe Base Camp have some in stock.

    @Cliff The key stove variables to be concerned about are the burner size and the burner type (silent or roarer)and the fuel it uses.
    All the burners/stoves that you mention are designed to burn paraffin/kerosene, so that element is OK. Size wise, the Primus 210 has a smaller burner than the 51, although both are the roarer design. Whilst the No5 burner would be the correct size for the 51, it is a silent burner, whereas the 51 has a roarer burner. So neither of the options offered by Tilley Lamps and stoves would be a correct replacement for your 51 burner.
