Jetboil Clones

[Wildfisher]

Three burners though. I would worry about gas usage on long stays especially in cooler temps.

My thoughts exactly.

Mine boils a litre of water in my kettle in no time. A 250 cannister lasts at least two six day trips (I think ).

I have the alpkit equivalent of the jet boil. Great wee bit of kit for a fresh brew when fishing

This topic prompted me to check on my worthy old brass Optimus Svea 123 petrol stove. Been in manufacture for more than a century and still on sale now priced at £125 to £150! Burns three and a half hours or more on half a litre of fuel. Unaffected by temperature or altitude. Remarkable wee thing and compact although 500gms because of it being brass. Sounds like a doodle-bug coming over. Pleased to see it still being made today. Still works really well and with the little eighth of a litre tank full there is near an hour burn time so often no need to carry extra fuel.

I only ever want to boil water and use a mini Kelly Kettle (about the size of a tin of beans). Cannot explain why but I really enjoy using it! And there is never a shortage of heather for fuel .

Im afraid im still back in the dark ages of the auld paraffin pressure stoves tried and tested and has never ever let us down and burns for hour after hour if yer cauld. Still easy to get hold of spares

Can you still get paraffin? Not seen it for years!

Yes still use for the greenhoose heaters comes at a price  ....£8 quid a gallon Fred i know guys who also use them and do a petrol/paraffin mix ....not for me. As i said still easy spares and not alot goes wrong with them

Pump up Primus paraffin stoves are still in use all over the world. I had one for many years. Well made, easy maintenance and spares available.
I switched to petrol because it is easy to get and suits mowers and as a 2stroke for outboards, strimmers, chainsaws etc.
