That's very nice... I should dig out all mine, I have many many stoves and blow lamps

@winchman Those Coleman suitcase stoves are wonderful things, yours is that bit more special. I’ve got a triple burner and an older double burner, you can leave it in storage and when you want it, it’ll work.

A bit of a beast, might get around to restoring it one day.

They are a fun bit of kit.
Brazing torch.

I have a similar one.

The pressure gauge are a weak area.

Here is mine.



Still warming up, but it was vey hot.



Can be a bit scary when warming up from cold.



But not as scary when it goes wonky.

Thats why we kept it only made for one year we believe but used the same parts as the normal one, we take it on days out and car shows

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A few more for use.

All work and are tidy.

Do you prefer paraffin over petrol ones? Personally I prefer petrol, they seem more fun

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

@HughF

I am not fussed.
Paraffin is safer at MIS.

Petrol ones are not something I get my hands on to often.

 

[HughF]

Most of mine seem to be petrol, my most often used one being a small bladon. I really should have a clear out if you know of anywhere that would want a collection. I'd probably keep a few stoves, because cooking is always better than just heating stuff up

@HughF
Indeed I do know of such a place.

I believe the paraffin ones burn hotter than petrol. They’re all equally fun when not properly pre heated though.

A few more for my Collection.




Otto Benz Kerosene Blow torch. But it is not worth on cost grounds to repair to full working condition.



Leaky Plant sprayer.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This is a WD Paraffin Brazing torch.



Got a few years of use.

Pair of Sivert blow lamps. Both in absolutely mint condition and fully working
