this is a great example of how CCS has evolved from a "whats this?,and here's my stove" to a real working site for hard core stovies.
Hi All Was going to finally put them on for sale last weekend, but my computer failed with all the pictures George & i had sorted out & i,m still waiting for my technical expert to let me know whats going on with it. I,m just using the wifes pooter to keep up but it's not the same & i don't want to muck hers up or i'll never hear the end of it As soon as i'm back up & in the saddle they'll be up for grabs ,once again sorry for any incontinence please be patient it wont be long i hope . Best regards Stu
Computer problems, eh? Tempting providence but I haven't had any in a while ... hang on, screen's gone blank. Hello, HELLO Slapped the screen and all's well. Stu, if I could get a wooden pattern for a Coleman grate to you - one for something like a Handy Gas Plant, say - would those fellows in the foundry oblige with a bit of sand casting as a one-off? John
Hi John I think that could be arranged, PT me when your sorted ,if you have an original primus cast iron trivet top we could try that too Best regards Stu .
Now there's an idea! Never enough of the originals to be had. Bit ahead of myself with the Handy Gas Plant - haven't taken delivery yet - but good to know it's a possibility. Thanks Stu
Hi All This is the first post for the flame plates & there production , They're now ready for sale 8) 8) Best regards Stu
Are any of these available still? I have a Optimus 100 early model that may be missing the flame spreader but will have to wait and see.
Hi @Punch This is an old thread and the flame plates are all sold as far as I know. Have a look at this: “If you want to handcraft a flame plate for a No.100 style stove, the dimensions are as follows: The overall diameter of the plate (measured tip-to tip of the legs) is approximately 64mm or 2.5inches. The Centre plate has a diameter of 44mm or approx. 1.75inches. The thickness is probably not critical, if you are using stainless steel. 0.6mm (or 24 thousands of an inch) is adequate. For brass sheet I would probably double that thickness. Before using the above dimensions to fashion a plate, I recommend checking the dimensions of your burner bell. The one I measured had a diameter of 59.3mm or approx 2.36in at the base of the cutouts, where the flame plate legs perch.” From this thread: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/1911-primus-no-100-resurrection.28205/#post-288016 Best Regards, Kerophile.
Okay gentlemen as usual outstanding help and much appreciated. I'm awaiting my burner from Sweden for my Opt. 100 which will include flame spreader. But I've recently bought a circa 1910-15? Optimus 100 with separate Air bleed on side and that stove is missing flame spreader. I new it was a long shot as that post was 8 years ago. Guess the guys got out of the manufacturing business.
While looking at old pics of Opt 100 stoves it looks like they left the manufacture with a combo roarer /silent set-up. I assume so many of these parts go missing because they just sit on top and are likely to fall off or dissappear like any small parts do.
Hi @Punch, you commented on the production of these flame plates in 2010/2011.: “Guess the guys got out of the manufacturing business” Here are some related comments from a 2011 thread:
