Diesel single burner stove

Thought I should add the usual - not affiliated in any way, and instructional video is laughable especially the music....

I just stumbled across a you-tube review on it and it a piece of crap on diesel....I've answered my own question....and told you I had no affiliation!

Top review you did there mate....lol

I brought one of these for the sole purpose of running it on diesel.
It was a total failure on diesel and I gave the seller a low rating.
it just shoots a yellow flame with liquid diesel so resembles a flame thrower. will burn for a while even if you turn it off as liquid diesel has leaked everywhere.
Lesson learned and I will stick to my coleman duel fuel.

Also should add that it roars like a jet engine.

No real difference from the old brass kero blowtorch everyone's Dad had back in the 50s and 60s, they still make them in Sweden I believe.. Once upon a time you could also get brass single burner stoves and mantle lights that worked on the same principle. Coleman still make the lights I believe, although they’re no longer made of brass. The jet needed pricking regularly (particularly the blowtorches), they were messy to start and left black soot over everything. Not ideal in the bush: when starting up they tended to act like flame throwers and set alight to the surrounding ground if you weren't careful. I still have a 50s blowtorch somewhere in my shed I think.

Well that took me back a few years, quite a few actually,
Yes, I have used the kero blowtorches and the stoves, known as "Primus Stoves".
They were once the only alternative to a wood fire, or a charcoal burner in the case of heating a soldering iron.
The big hassle was frequently unblocking the jet, and they didn't come with the nifty multi-function tool shown in the video.
Go for it .... you will have lots of fun and be the centre of attraction (and derision?) LOL

As I said, I discounted the idea as soon as I saw the demo - with flames a metre high making more smoke than comes from a bus fully of hippies.....HOWEVER I'm glad I posted this because it seems that it has brought back some good memories!
