oldest piece of gear I use still
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Got this when I was 17 for $18 at Mels Army and Navy. It has traveled all over the country with me and gone on mutliweek backpacking trips. ALWAYS works. I like my morning coffee and carry grains like bulgar to cook on the trail. The little cut on top is too small for my uses, so have a pot that stove just fits into. After 30 years (!) I had to replace the fuel cap o-ring for $2.50. This is the most trustworthy item I have ever owned. Its a little noisy at full blast if you are trying to boil water in a hurry, but I love the sound. It has never been babied. When lighting, I pour about a teaspoon of fuel on top of the burner and light it up. There is a small depression around the main stem that catches fuel and preheats the burner tube. Its a little dramatic, but that's half the fun. I also own a MSR stove, but never use it My stove is the older model without the internal burner cleaning needle and have never had to clean out the jet. Always use Coleman white gas. Full stove tank and one fuel bottle of gas lasts me about 10 days for morning coffee and evening dinner. For winter camping I put a small square of ensolite under stove to keep pressure up (tank pressurizes from burner stem heat). Cant use it directly on top of snow. I probably have used it more than 400 times, and only had the one o-ring replacement. Cant beat it. Practice lighting it before you hit the trail. Most people use an eye dropper to fill the little pre-heat reservoir at the base of the burner tube. Would not use it in a tent!
