Been to a classic car gathering today, small boot sale there & I found this half pint Sirram stove, handy for a quick brew,( and after scribing a cross hatch pattern on the bottom of the pan - - & the application of some mat black heatproof paint) it does seem to be fairly quick I'll try it for tea duties while out & about this summer. And here's a good combo for yer beans etc - - - A Svea works VERY well in a Swiss army wind shield.
Hey, Jules, Very nice! One caution, though: I would not use your SVEA 123 inside that windscreen, unless you can open the screen up at least 1/3 to 1/2 more than it is right now! The SVEA, when used inside such totally enclosing windscreens, is not designed to be used with it's own screen, too. Doing so, very may endanger you, due to popping the safety valve in the SVEA's fuel cap!! Just my opinion, but backed up with quite a few years of reading about serious accidents being caused by enclosing the SVEA too much. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc Mark
Doc, you could well be right, but it does seem that when heat rises at that rate, then the vents around the bottom of the wind shield applies quite a cooling draught directly to the tank. I've used this set up quite a lot - - so far so good. as you say - -take care & may your god bless you.
JC, for F**k sake, don't use the 123 with an army Trangia shield, Its a valve blow out waiting to happen mate PS, I love the Sirram 8)
I have a agree here, it does look like a popped valve waiting to happen. But that said, it could a combination worth developing, the army kits are cheap enough to some chopping up could be condoned. Trouble is the obvious solution (drilling many big holes on the 'down wind' side) would render it fairly useless as a meth plant. And so the search for the perfect cook set goes on.......

Thanks for your concern everyone, but what you don't seem to be taking in is the fact that the 123 tank heats mainly by conducted heat, this is a quick process in 'still air', with all the holes in this shield there really is quite a strong & cooling draught directly to the tank - -( the cold air being drawn in because of the heat rising). however, you have made my somewhat poor sense of caution 'kick in', so will do some temperature checks on the tank, but as I've said, I have used this set up with NO problems (so far). Do any of you know what sort of age the Sirram might be? It has - Half Pint Sirram Redcap - written on the lid & the saucepan measures 2 inches deep X 4 across .
DRY ICE?????? Yikes, I would have thought a third degree burn would be painful enough; but suffering from frostbite on the same spot??? Maybe I have missed something in the first aid manual, but cold water, and cubes of frozen water usually suffices..?? Interesting table saw... I have never seen a table saw with a band saw blade??? It appears to be an older model of tablesaw, or is it simply a band saw?? My dad has an old tablesaw, where the table tilts instead of the blade. Made by Delta/Milwaukee in the USA! Excellent oldtimer though!
