Stove of the Year - 2020 The Tiebreaker!

A tiebreaker for Stove of the Year 2020

The vote will remain open for 7 days. I've got the un-envious job of the casting vote in the event of another tie.

Good luck!!

July 2020 - Staffan Rönn's Optimus Traveling 1S @Staffan Rönn
1930's Traveling 1 S with claw feet




August 2020 - Robert Radcliffe's Optimus Campingo No:2 @Robert Radcliffe
Optimus Campingo No 2

 

I believe it should read 'A tie-breaker for stove of the year 2020' above? I know, I have only just joined, but will probably be thrown out just as fast because of my pedantry!

 

Welcome & thanks! I need keeping right!

 

Your not making this easy! Both are worthy of winning.

 

Yes of course, but one of them is more worthy.

In the machinists union there was a term "Qualified". There was no use of the term "More Qualified". You either were or you were not.

Really hard to choose. But, I did.

 

Morning, Fellow Stovies,

First of all, hearty congratulations to all who's stoves made it to the SOTY contest!!

(@Staffan Rönn , @Robert Radcliffe) Second, to our two finalists, very well done, Mates!! Whomever wins this run-off, I'll be happy, as I love both stoves in the running!! Yes, I've made my choice, and look forward to seeing who actually wins! Well done, to the two of you, in any case!! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

 

@Doc Mark thanks Doc.

 

This is such a cliff hanger!!
Thanks @Doc Mark and best of luck @Robert Radcliffe !

 

@Staffan Rönn & both Optimus so you can't really lose!

 

@Staffan Rönn yes best of luck to you Staffan and yes one way or the other a Swede wins.

 

Hearty congratulations @Staffan Rönn . The Optimus Travelling 1S is a very worthy winner of the Stove of the Year 2020.
I'd pretty much resigned myself to being runner-up to this very fine stove.
Best wishes
Rob.

 

Wow! Holy paraffin smoke... This was really a surprise, the competition as equally worthy of the win as my stove. On behalf of my Traveling 1S, thank you so much to all who voted. In this case it's probably all in the exquisite feet. And really @Robert Radcliffe - your stove is at least as beautiful as mine, thanks for being such a nice contestant!

 

@Staffan Rönn I'm not feeling too sorry for myself I won SOM three times and I'm runner up in SOY for 2020.
Just realised it was your Optimus that beat my Coleman/Jolp by just one vote in July so that's worth a resubmission at some point.
Well done again.
Rob.

 

I should say a huge thank you to those who took time to vote for either stove. 25 votes for the Campingo is a big deal.
Rob.

 

@Staffan Rönn , @Robert Radcliffe ,

Hearty Congratulations to you both, Gentlemen!! Staffan, a well deserved win, and Robert, a very worthy competitor!! I've loved seeing both stoves, and appreciate your having shared them with us! Excellent stuff, Mates!! Take care, and God Bless!

Happy for you both,
Doc

 

Congratulations both.

John

 

Congrats to all! Great contest.

 

Congratulations to both of you, very fine stoves.
