There comes a time when the collection takes up all the available space. I have moved the metho burners, ovens and cookware to the granny flat but the room created was quickly filled, so no more collecting. HOWEVER, I could not resist an Optimus two burner gimballed marine stove for $10. Or a nest of three Trangia cooking pots with kettle inside. Or a marked down Coleman Exponent multi fuel stove. Fitted the kero generator then came to a halt. In a country where Coleman is not King, what to do without pre-hrating paste? Maybe light up a blowlamp to light up the stove, or try to use the thingy from a Tilly lamp. Currently cooking on a recently fettled pre 1911 Primus. Fr Laurence
Hey, Fr Laurence, Great to hear from you, and welcome to the new CCSv3! As usual, you're still finding outstanding stoves, at outstanding prices!! Well done, Mate!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Thanks for the kind words, Doc. It happened again. Another $10 stove, this time a side tank single burner Aladdin, which I have not seen before. It came with a spirit can, a Coleman Filter Funnel, and a spare adjustable burner still in original box and wrapped in an Aladdin order form. The box says "For use as replacement part on Aladdin two-burner stove, five-burner range and heater cooker." The 5 burner range was a common gas stove of the time but fitted by Aladdin with kero tank and silent burners. I have only seen one of these, and at $750 it was outside my price range. Fr Laurence
