Who here is a stove junkie?

[IH8U]

I have a weakness for a good stove. Here are a dozen Optimus from the 22B at bottom to 6 111's including 3 B's, 2T's and a C as well as the three 8R's and a 99 and Svea 123

Beside these I have an old Canadian 2 Burner Coleman and a three burner tourist as well as a bunch of Trangia and Swedish Army alcohol kits.

I also make wood stoves and have about 8-10 of these critters too.

I guess that makes me a bit of a stove freak!

I was looking at those over the weekend, nice collection.

I have built and tested several alcohol stove, non of which were impressive. I picked up a few different pots this weekend too. I have found a good one that I like now I just need a stove that works. I have built presurized pepsi can stoves, straight alchy stoves, alchy with wick material and different esbit setups. The best 2 cup boil time I can get is 13 minutes and some took as long as 20 minutes. I will find something ideal soon, I hope.
