Elsewise, review your priorities and find a better fit for your needs. This a model. Hardly used and works perfectly. Original box, made in Canada. Source: bought it used Price Paid: Equivalent of 20 Dollars.

Packable, nice wide flame pattern for frying. Simmer that won't quit until the fuel runs out even if you forget to pump it again thus keeping your food warm.

Form factor allows better visibility of the flame and use of a narrow platform that might be higher than stoves with seperate fuel bottles and pumps.

I have had this stove for 30 years, using it annually. Others I have bought and tried don't compare. It is easy to set up, light, and see the flame. The small, stable footprint allows it to be placed more conveniently in a rocky high Sierra campsite.

The flame is in a wider pattern so you can fry your fish or flapjacks more easily. The simmer will last until the fishermen come home without frequent pumping. It gets plenty hot and boils fast with the the inner parts of the grate turning red hot. Source: bought it new Price Paid: Don't remember Welcome to Trailspace, Larry!

Thanks for the review. Do you have any pictures of this classic stove you'd be willing to share in your review? It would be great to see some. Rogerzilla August 18, Petrol stoves aren't for the faint-hearted. You have to handle volatile fuel when filling them and they tend to go "woof" when you light them. That aside, this stove works pretty well if you follow the instructions carefully, it's economical on fuel and it settles to a nice clean blue flame within about 10 seconds of lighting up.

Top tips: have a lighter flame ready at the burner before you turn on the gas, or it will flood and take ages to settle down - you can't get near it when it's flaring up to add those essential extra post-light up pumps, so you need to minimise the warm-up time.
