    Post your nomination as a reply to this post.

    The theme for August is 'Primus 96L, Optimus 96L, Radius 20L'. The L denotes that it's to be the version in a tin. I'll allow Primus 'Sport' models under this definition but not home-made or non-original tins.

    The rules.
    Maximum of 2 pictures in the entry - one of which will be used for the vote. If your stove is listed in the Stove Reference Gallery a link can be added with your entry (not compulsory). Only one stove to be shown in the pictures.
    Stove must be presently owned by the member.
    One entry per member.
    Stoves that have won previously are excluded.

    This nominations post will be open until 31st August 2026. The post will be closed & the qualifying stoves placed in a blind poll for members to vote for. The poll will remain open for 10 days. Most votes is the winner.

    The winner will get a SotM Winner notation on their posts & profile & a £10 voucher code from The Fettlebox.
