Go with the Svea vs the 8R. I have both but their fun to play with. It would be interesting to try regular burner vs quiet burner (like a BernieDawg) as well.
Hmm looks as if its not such a. Happy stove after all ?! Bit lopsided , maybe something in the jet hole thingy perhaps? I know they sell knock offs of these , bit tricky to use without any regulator
What other stove primus/optimus is the same size as the Svea? I had a monitor stove years ago and loved that thing ended up selling it, now I’m on the lookout for something similar just a little lighter/smaller
Nothing like wool. I'm sitting here in me shorts and sandals. You know I'm still wearing some wool things I bought at a secondhand store 40 years ago. Obviously, they are not worn everyday but none of my canvas hunting stuff lasted that long without holes. Since you asked the other day. We are ok up here on our side. Of course, if you ask most Muricans (our side) is wherever we happen to be at the moment. I do not suffer from such. LOL. I try not to bother folks too much these days. I mentioned losing my hunting buddy of 40 plus years about three years ago now in another comment I made here a few months back, and with the health keeping from getting out like I once could, the computer has become my fishing hole and hunting stand. We sort of looked after one another in our old age while in the bush. Getting old is a blessing but sort of a mixed blessing at times. Not all get the chance so I'm not complaining just stating opinions. Anyway, as you can see, I will talk your ears off if allowed. I will have to go and watch the video again now as I was typing my mouth off while it played out. I recall the GIs of WW2 and Korea having small stoves that looked to be about the size of those German gas mask containers, size wise, if you remember the photos of those things on the German troops. I think in the movie "Battleground" Van Johnson's character (Harley) was trying to cook his eggs that he stole from the French lady on one of those stoves. I have a head filled with useless info it appears. I think the things burned motor gas and would be pumped up like Coleman stuff is pumped up. That's what prompted my question a couple of days ago when you posted the little Japanese stove, if their troops had something issued along that line to use in the field. One would think given the flood of Japanese products after the war into the world that they could have produced such a thing easily. Just never seen one of them if they did. Take care.

Hi there, I dont think Monitor stoves were ever sold in NZ.
