    This is a Tilley CS22 two burner kerosene stove, found in Australia.

    It had been rather unloved when I received it, so I spent a fair bit of time carefully getting it back into shape.

    I will do a separate post on fettling it.

    I will list other examples of this rather uncommon stove at the bottom of this post.

    The trivets have “British” and “NOC” under the enamel (very hard to see).

    The stove is working very well. The orange in the flame shots is not the stove running rich as I’ve had it running for a long time boiling many different pots, with no soot deposits and no stink of kerosene. I suspect it’s caused by the heavy brass burner with the steel mesh and flame holders and various oxides interacting with the flame.

    There’ll be more photos when I do the fettling post, but if there’s any detail wanted, I’m happy to oblige.
