Anybody have any input on the version of this stove that actually ships?
You can't see it in the product photo, but the shipping version of this stove has an on/off knob built onto the pump near the shank/sleeve that connects to the fuel line hose. I have an older version of this stove (all silver...no black...no green...2005 model, I believe...) that does not have such a knob built into the pump. The only on/off is controlled via the simmer lever on the burner and the orientation of the bottle itself. Why the triple-redundant on/off functionality?
(On/off based on the orientation of the bottle...on/off based on the state of the knob on the pump....on/off based on the state of the simmer lever on the burner...)
Also, the version that I has different connector shank...it firmly snaps into place...no need to twist, like you have to with this version. The first time I tried this version it leaked whitegas from that twist shank...not cool.
