Hello friends, this morning I woke up without any new stove in the mail, sad Sundays... so I decided to open my “trash” box and find something to do. I found this sad broken Juwel 6 tank with a detached part of it (it looks like it exploded), its feet, no riser, a modified original Juwel pump with its tank fitting... this stove has been a donor for some time considering all the damages. I asked to myself: will it work again? What if this was the last stove on earth and I needed a coffee cup? So I had to find the McGuyver in me So I needed first to repair the tank and then solder all back together, find a suitable burner riser and fitting and also a filler cap. I was worried especially for the legs, very hard to put in place in the correct position but after some hours of work now I just need to make the filler cap to look nicer and then I will burn it and see if I have saved this nice stove... that will be a user from now on. I was too excited and busy to solder that I did not take all the photos of the process, but just for your information I used a tank burner fitting from a broken Primus 54 and its riser tube, a Phoebus roarer as burner... all the other pieces were in my spares... I made a pressure test and everything seems fine and ready to work! Enjoy, Nicola
Ok coffee made, but I have a pressure loss at the pump washer that is not a proper washer, but I knew that, so I need a proper sealing at the pump for best performance. Good thing no leaks where I made the solderings. Nicola
Right, I see the coffee on the way. That stove has many productive years ahead of it thanks to your endeavours.
Amazing the lengths some people go to for a cup of coffee. Impressive to say the least. Enjoy you're cup of coffee. You've earned it. Ben
Thanks guys, yes I can’t live without coffee, who can? Now I have mounted a nice silent burner in line with the style and age of this Juwel. Nicola
