BRS 12A Camp Stove from China, let’s look closer

Nice little camping and backpacking stove BRS-12A

2:48，The wire is not a generator. It is to clear the preheating tube. It depends on the quality of gas, the tube will get some tar even carbonated tar. That’s the purpose of that wire. After you put off the fire, you’d better open the valve one or two seconds to clean the nozzle or else the heat will carbonate the residual oil and the tinny hole will be jammed of 10 to 15 times using. The left over cooler oil will be vaporized.

Is it safe to use petrol in it?

[@breezeli6233]

@@numanamin1854 Yes, safe, but more chances to jam the nozzle than gasoline. .

[@MetaJamm]

@@numanamin1854 Best to use light fraction clean dearomatised gasolines. Gasolines for dissolving paint one of the best choise in price\quality term. For test make couple drops of chosen fuel on white paper, if fuel evaporates with left no visible trace, it is good for stoves. "Isopar C" also great option.

[@jorgen.zamora]

very helpful information. thank you!

[@allancopland1768]

If you drip a little fluel into the priming cup and set fire to it, the stove will start easier. The stove burns fuel vapour, so the fuel needs to to be pre-heated. This is the purpose of the vaporiser tube that runs over the hot stove.

[@damiankeogh4249]

you should open the valve a touch and it sprays fuel on the underside which you light to preheat.

[@Saltfly]

@@damiankeogh4249 if you don’t want soot on your stove you can use alcohol to keep it cleaner. This is especially true with kerosene

[@z-juan4854]

been using this stove for a long time now. no failure so far

[@Billyboy4209]

I would have to go with a used Coleman 502 off EBay for the same price.

[@GarryNichols]

I found that thinner works better than gasoline. It burns cleaner.

[@alegarciadelrio]

Excelente video!

[@dinkaman2160pukka]

need to use it on the outside env and see how well it performs with wind, light rain etc.

[@jorgen.zamora]

what did you use as fuel?

[@styledliving]

i like how they add the old school asbestos pad

[@bryanmartinez6600]

Back in ye old days cigarettes were health and doctors recommended Marlboro

[@hectorluevano4056]

How long can be used? I bought one and I can feel that there's is getting hot between the container and the flame, so I felt worry about any increase in pressure due the rise of temperature inside the gas container, other question, how many and how frequently is required press the pressure pump, how often?

[@viewsandreviews1369]

Hector Luevano cant answer the first one as there is no emergency valve, for the second one i do 5-10 strikes just in the beginning to create initial pressure.

[@danielmitchell5814]

Dont worry for anything, the cap of tank has emergency release machenism in it. When it reaches over pressure, the cap releases it. Of course its a stove, it will get hot, it wont blast at all 🤣🤣🤣. I have been using these stoves on daily basis in camping training, its aafe and reliable. Once we fill the tank, we gave it maximum pressure, then set the whole stove on fire by poring petrol in it, NOTHING HAPPENED, it was just a test, though we roasted one BRS 12A, but we are sure now that it wont blast in any situation.

[@williambuchanan77]

Ideal for off-grid living, or when there's a power cut and you're a bit hungry.

[@bruce722]

Is there no soot when preheating? How do you remove the air from the fuel tank after use?

[@bigstick5278]

Let it cool off then slowly open the fuel cap, you'll hear a hissing noise then nothing.. When storing don't tighten the cap to tightly as it will deform the O ring with a permanent groove, you want the O-ring flat as it will create a nice surface to seal..

[@durvalpalomo3713]

Una pregunta cuantos dura este fuego prendido ? CUal es mejor BRS 12A o BRS 29A. ?

[@izahoranszki]

one can bay spare parts for this stove on aliexpress

[@edloki3057]

If you're going to store this for a long period of time, make sure to empty it out and burn off what's left in the generator. Otherwise, it will gum up. Also, once in awhile, put a thimble full of acetone with a 2/3 tank fuel load to clear out the gunk.

[@numanamin1854]

Is it safe to use petrol in it?

[@miksUSA777]

you mean you combine the fuel with acetone?

[@adisdelahmet]

Great video. Thx.

Can i use it With fuel, benzin super 95, it is Petroleum for cars.. And how can i Stopp the fire?

[@viewsandreviews1369]

Jan Marten Rolfs car benzin will work, to stop use red handle clockwise.

[@black5f]

Good video but my little Coleman is boiling stuff in 2 mins and doesn't set fire to the table? Doesn't need a separate supply of alcohol to light it. Most people don't get on with them because they don't pump them enough. Why is this better? Just asking... I like these prime movers.

[@viewsandreviews1369]

black5f Coleman is my one of the first choices, I would take this one if a fuel quality is not guaranteed (no white gas) and no spare generator during continuous use.

[@black5f]

@@viewsandreviews1369 Hi. Think I agree. I run mine on regular unleaded (what its called in UK) and if you leave them too long in storage they gum up and misbehave (so do the lamps). The jets are small and while I'm confident in the supply, transferring it to smaller containers you can easily get contamination which is hard to budge. I was looking for a funnel with a filter ... might have to make my own from a car gas filter. I just re read my first post and it sounded critical ... sorry, it was not meant like that at all. I love the self contained nature of these things. I did a little (very amateur) review my self last week. Nothing commercial, I'm trying to persuade a friend to get one. Thanks for the response!

[@anest-uk]

@@black5f How do you clean the jet? It's very inaccessible.

[@black5f]

@@anest-uk Hi, sorry, basically disassemble. If you find a proper hardware shop you can get "prickers" to clean them. Mines never got blocked. They can gum up so regular use is a must. if its actually blocked then thats in the fuel and it need a good clean out of will just do it again?

[@gweedomurray9923]

I saw a better done video by another man and you don't need to use alcohol. He said with 3/4 of a full tank to pump it 30 times, open the valve a bit and look for some fuel to wet the fireproof mesh and then light. The table was burning only because this guy had tipped it causing some wet alcohol to spill over. I see alcohol as just a cleaner burning way of priming as the the fuel itself will burn a dirty yellow until the vaporizer tube is good and hot and your flame will then be coming through the nozzle.

[@sfv6]

This is only good while its working, forget about parts replacement.....That coleman stoves even the older ones parts are really easy to obtain.

[@millanferende6723]

@Ronald Joseph Your ability to say this in perfect English makes me trust you! Haha That's the thing about these Chinese products sometimes. They "learn from the best", and don't have a need for "brand recognition." They will sell these and move on to other products. Haha pretty cool! Thank you for sharing.

[@millanferende6723]

@Ronald Joseph Hey Ronald, can I ask you one question please? What sort of fuel do you recommend to put into this? What gives the most weight to power efficiency? Is it ok to mix fuels? :) Looking forward to take it into a forest with me while trekking!

[@millanferende6723]

@Ronald Joseph Thank you so much! So much appreciated! Always nice to have people with real world experience in the comments. That's what we do it for.

[@millanferende6723]

Ronald Joseph Hey can I please ask you another small question? Before this notification gets lost forever. 😊 Am I able to also burn alcohol with this? 🙂 Sry, that's last question. Just cuz Chinese seller said no, and I need to know how to prepare. (yes, I know there are small alcohol stoves, but I need an all-rounder 😁) I feel there is nothing liquid that this thing can't burn.

[@giottodiotto1]

@@millanferende6723 try CAR PETROL regular Unleaded

[@damiankeogh4249]

It's a BRS 12 stove

[@celloting01]

Goes to confirm that all BRS stoves do not simmer well, nothing like Coleman stoves. That's bc BRS's valves are just not quality. Great for boiling but not for proper cooking where simmering is needed.

can Kerosene be used on this stove ?

[@bikepackers]

Yeah kerosene is pretty similar to diesel

[@bikepackers]

@@anest-uk yeah it is, of course not the same but it has similar characteristics to diesel. Much more than to gasoline

[@anest-uk]

@@bikepackers ok well it would be really useful if someone on one of these reviews would go through all the fuels, like volatility, flash point, calorific value, soot risk, additives/ health issues. I bought a bottle of official stove fuel but it's to light, starts quickly but fluctuates and flares up, insufficient calories ti self-sustain.

[@bikepackers]

@@anest-uk in Switzerland you can buy pure gasoline without additives. This is the best solution. Otherwise kerosene is the way to go. With diesel it gives you a pretty big mess. And normal Gasoline is pretty unhealthy with all the additives

[@occamraiser]

I have one and a coleman 533. The BRS12a is complete and total rubbish. This stove produces about 20% of the heat that a Coleman 533 does. I did a boil test of a kettle of water - 2 minutes 15 for the Coleman, ELEVEN minutes for this one..... using the same fuel. The nozzle gums up after a few hours use, the flame becomes inconsistent - burning mainly on one side, it is supplied with a couple of sentences of English on the label and a few more instructions on a tag in Chinese. There is no manual to describe care and maintenance or how to disassemble it to change the nozzle from gasoline to ethanol or diesel - even though it came with replacement nozzles. Basically buy a real stove, this is rubbish. Anyone reviewing it as anything other than crap clearly didn't spend their own money on it like I did....regretfully.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

How does that work? The Coleman is rated at 2200w, the BRS at 2120w - maybe you have the wrong jet?

[@cocobunjee6676]

Just about the worst and most dangerous review I have had the misfortunate to watch.

[@sg7392]

Tipping any stove while it is burning/priming not a smart idea. Especially inside.
