I stumbled across this stove today on eBay.uk (Don't know what I was doing there. Must have been a browser accident) What the heck is this stove for? It's marked Svea 100 and the long gooseneck seems to be stock. For heating a bathtub? Making Swedish moonshine?
It was a special for the Middle East market. I suspect for cooking on pots hanging from a tripod. Crazy thing with these - as the fuel levels runs down it tips over as the weight of the burner increases in relation to the tank.
You'd of thought they would have a burner support (prop to stop it tipping) of some sort wouldn't you Guess you can pack it up with a brick or something
There are threads here about the owners making some supports for them. I think it was @hikerduane. Ken in NC
You do not need the long line, that was an extra. As you can see in the picture, it was equipped to work as a regular stove as well.
I made one of these out of bits and pieces . See it in Frankeys. Works well , made a windshield for hanging a Dutch oven on a tripod. Cheers Rob
If this was made for a tripod, why not just raise the pot hook up the chain a few more inches and use a regular burner? The extension looks like trouble waiting to happen.
Tripod legs not wide enough for pot to go much higher before clashing + More fun?? It's a plumber's delight all right but can't help thinking there's a lot of fuel in that pipe. No reason that's a problem apart from it must create air space in the tank after filling up the pipe. I also wonder whether it syphons if the tank valve is left open?
Tank over heating would be a concern under a big pot directly above. That's mitigated using the extension.
