This stove was actually first bought out in the 1920s, so has been around for 100 years! The only real development it has had in all that time is the addition of the pricier needle which cleans the jet- not sure when that was, but possibly the 50s.
I have this combo and used it without the three Svea pot supports. The heat exchanger of the Weekender pot will sit nicely directly on the rim of the brass windscreen. This puts the flame closer to the pot and heat exchanger. Boils more quickly this way.
I like the stove you´ve chosen. I've got the same one as well with three pots: Snow Peak Trek Combo Cookware Titanium Grey 2014 and Snow Peak Trek 700 Mug Titanium Grey 2015. I use it with the Husqvarna ASPEN 4 for fuel. happy trails!
There are more modern stoves, but will they be around in a half century? I bought my Svea 123R in 1975, and also bought a service kit for it . The stove still works great, and the service kit is still in its original packaging in the bottom of the stuff sack.
So, the only stove with real flame control, is this from 1980. And the question is, why 50 years ago, there was stove with flame control and today no? (I don't speak English well!)

We used a primus to heat laundry irons on the farm back in the day!
Don't have electricity?
Twig stoves are fun, but in reality a decent fuel stove is more practical in ALL environments. Nice video buddy 👍
Thanks Chris!
If it's made in another country and not Sweden, there's no way in hell it's the same quality as the original!
Very interesting
Very good sharing
👍
This stove has any real flame control, or only on-off?
There is some control but it does not really allow for fine control.
So, the only stove with real flame control, is this from 1980.

Nice stove, but seems rather complicated. I think I'll stick with your DIY tin can twig stove idea.
Hi Joey, I hear you!
