Good multi-fuel stove

I've been camping for over 50 years, and this is probably the best stove yet. I can't give 5 stars because it's costly and I haven't had it long and don't know if it will last. It looks as if it's of first rate construction. I've used it on paraffin (kerosene for those not in UK) and white spirit (a lighter grade of kerosene) and it worked well. I'm about to try it on petrol (gasoline) and LPG and I have no doubt it will work well. The magnetic nozzle cleaning has worked well so far. More bulky than an LPG only stove and noisier as you would expect of any pressure stove. This is the UK (always raining, windy, midge-ey)! I cook inside the tent always, but I checked with a high quality carbon monoxide monitor which we never even thought about in the past- zero ppm! I think I'm going to enjoy having this stove- and you always have a full fuel bottle, as opposed to sometimes having to carry 2 LPG canisters because one is part empty.

Fine Pedigree

I first used the Brass fuel tank primus stove 111b as a teenager on Dartmoor in the 70’s. The purr was so alluring - the new stove is more powerful with a stronger roar but just as welcoming when a brew is needed. The flexible fuel pipe connections are the weak points, though. Use it for most car-camping. A wee bit too bulky for rucksac camping.
