French Gas Cartridge Camping Stove Restoration

[@diyresttube]

Nice restoration.napagandang restorasyon.outcome is good.

[@leobrent7926]

The green flame was the zinc plating burning off. I thought it was weird that you zinc plated the parts in contact with heat.

[@king_ofdogeii268]

Yeah, that does seem weird. I would plate the high heat parts in nickel instead.

[@foxwhiskey]

Hi. Nice video and perfect restoration. Only one mistake. The loading with the gas-tank works like that: Turn the complete burner-unit app. 5 turns out of the cartridge holder. Put a gas-cartridge in. Fix it with the adjustable bottom THEN turn the burnerhead complete into the case so the dart penetrates the cartridge. Best regards and stay healthy !

[@samuelfellows6923]

Had the “gas lamp” versions of these at my church’s youth camp - and what you commented is what my dad taught me how to safely re-load those lamps when they ran out of gas

[@ianallen2]

You didnt see the other mistake when he put the pin in the wrong hole ?

[@AJRestoration]

No, there are two pins, I only showed the top one.

[@AJRestoration]

To be honest, I should have known how to load that cartridge, someone else did point it out, and I was like yeah me dumb dumb hahaha You are 100% correct.

[@ianallen2]

@@AJRestoration ok. Thanks. :)

[@johncourtneidge]

Very nice, thank-you!

[@dominiqueg7958]

You must first insert the cartrige, then screw on the lighter unit.

[@AJRestoration]

Ooooh that makes sense, thank you!

[@wireworks616]

The green is the plating burning off

[@tuksen8078]

Таганок и ножки нельзя оцинковывать. Цинк просто выгорит, ещё и в лёгкие попадёт…

[@magnumpunch]

To insert the propane cartridge: unscrew the BURNER, unscrew the back, insert cartridge, screw the back first and LAST screw the burner. I have the same stove =)

[@ruudmobile6726]

Beautiful job BUT... zinc plating for burners is not very wise. The green color of the flame will indicate it is giving of highly toxic fumes...nikkel is the plating of choice here.

[@somethingelse4878]

No no no You put the cartridge in first, then screw down the top lol Got mine in 78 age 12

[@EsotericArctos]

Another great restore. The green flame was likely the Zinc. Zinc will create a yellow colour in the flame, combined with the blue of the gas flame would create green. It will eventually burn off. I noticed a few others let you know that too lol. Zinc plating the burner was a novel idea, but it will burn off pretty quickly. Keep it in the open air until it burns off I understand why you did it. On paper it sort of makes sense to protect the metal. 🙂.

[@DrMrSmooth]

Nice mate.

[@timetable620]

You didn’t put the locking pin in the right hole. You put it in next to the adjustment screw but it is supposed to hole the brass fittings in on the bottom

[@AJRestoration]

There are two locking pins, one to keep the seal on the bottom in place, and one on top to keep you from unscrewing the adjustment needle out all the way. I only showed the top one.

[@19Bmiller]

You've done a good job in bringing it back from the dead.

[@robertmailhos8159]

Usual the green flame is caused by the metal More nover copper. Thanks for keeping that stove in the blue 🔵 color scheme

[@patriciapimenta5084]

maravilhoso

Good restoration as always,good detail something different to display or use .just keep doing your thing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@VeilZuTun]

Not surprised the gas canister part had you nervous. Although, if memory serves me correct, insert the gas canister first, then screw the top into place. As a child in the 1970's I witnessed a camping gas canister set fire to a caravan, my late parents helped get the drunken fool out okay, but sadly his dog died. My mother refused point blank to ever use gas stoves again when we were camping, and she went back to her Primus Stove, which I still have. Priming it can be a bit temperamental, but it still works really well. Great restoration, though. As much as those early gas stoves were a bit nerve-wracking, they deserve their place in history and preservation. 😊

[@TheMangeGrain]

LOL ! I had the exact same canister insertion technique, usually loosing half of the gas until I could lock the f***ing canister, until I figured out you can unscrew the burner.

[@LFKGooner]

Excellent video. Augmented by the sweet songs 🎵 of African birds 🐦 in the background!

[@madcapmagician6018]

green flame is indicative of a copper material burning ... not sure but i think the burner was made of copper and when u zinced it that might have caused a reaction wherein some if the copper was dissolved and then free to burn off when the stove was lit... not a chemist but usually green flame means copper

[@TheDanielz3]

Good job! Now i know how to disamble mine. You get wrong the cartuge part. first you put the cartugue on the botom. Then you screw the top. Is more easy.

[@FunnySurpriseToys]

Excellent video my dear friend! 👌😊👍47

[@baristajs]

Great job! I use a similar gas camping stove to roast and brew coffee. Very handy! I recommend it.

[@wolfgangbalu1253]

green flame is coming from electrochemical processes you treated the surface. You didnt test whether system is tight, Im not sure about

[@regisvidal5823]

Très belle Restauration. Mais concernant la Mise en place de la Cartouche, ça ne va pas du tout. Il faut Dévisser L'ensemble Robinet Bruleur, mettre la Cartouche dans la Cloche, mettre et Verrouiller le Fond et Revisser L'ensemble Robinet Bruleur. C'est ainsi sur Tous les Réchauds Campingaz. C'est Nettement plus Facile et ça évite les Efforts et les Fuites de Gaz.

[@DRMALIKIA]

I don't know why but sandblasting is my favorite part, lol.

[@НикПачежерцев]

Очень хороший результат. Поздравляю. Привет из Сибири, Россия.

[@johncourtneidge]

Perhaps masking the original label prior to sand-blasting is something for others to try. Well done!

[@incrediblemichael]

did you use boron contsaining chemicals during plating normaly boron makes such a green flame

[@roddneysaucedo582]

Where did you get the fuel from? I would like to get a few for my 40 year old GAZ stove.

[@hanskuijsten2380]

I dont know where you're from, but here, in Europe these gascartridges are generic. Available in the same size from different brands in supermarkets, hardware stores and outdoor stores. They're used for stoves, soldering torches, lamps etc.

[@samuelfellows6923]

When my church used to have a youth camp and I was a child, we had the “gas lamp” version of these, I remember the blue base, the gas cartridge and the lamp top.

[@andymiller5611]

zinc burns green

[@AJRestoration]

According to google Zinc does not have a color when burning. Some say its a light blue flame. BUT I might have some Zinc and other chemicals mixed in the head that did not fully evaporate. And during the test it got hot enough to burn that beautiful color.

[@lucasperez6734]

maybe the green flag is caused by the nickel bath of that part

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@claudineenidualc1808]

Thank you. What is this liquid you fill the glass pot with ?

[@dfgggfg]

green flame is a sign that zinc burns out)

[@BrothersRestorationIndustry]

Good job 👍

[@Bucolinio]

it would be perfect if it were not for the pitting of the rust ...

[@mskayla7747]

I'm happy you decided to rescue the stove from the trash. It gave you something to restore, us something to watch, and now you have something to use when you go camping. 😊 Another nicely done restoration.

[@AJRestoration]

So true! Thank you Ms Kayla, I appreciate the kind comment. 😊

[@ianallen2]

14:25 you put the pin in the wrong hole.

No, there are two pins, I only showed the top one.

[@brainswapper]

Hi, AJ! Good restoration, but why didn't you fill the pitting on the case and bottom cap? Looks a little bit imperfect... Turned out nice, though. All the best for you!

[@AJRestoration]

I always leave the pitting, it shows the age and character.

There is one drawback - after installing the cylinder, you can no longer remove it until the gas in the cylinder runs out.

[@lucialima781]

[@My_Op]

Question: why don't you never restore the metals and the brand?

[@AJRestoration]

I could not find the specific brand logo or label online. Sometimes I redo the label's, sometimes I don't.

[@charitybrown4274]

Great Work!! That’s Great!! 👍

[@fredrichardson9761]

Did the acid bath cause the pitting of that top part? It looked like it was reacting really strongly with the acid... Nice restoration overall though!

[@AJRestoration]

The pitting was already there, But the top part is aluminum that is why it reacted the way it did. It was not exposed long enough for pitting to occur.

[@fredrichardson9761]

@@AJRestoration Thank you for the explanation! I think those pits were filled with aluminum oxide and it was hard to see before you cleaned them up - and yeah the pitting is all on one side - it's as if the burner had been lying on one side in damp soil for a long time. Great restoration BTW ;)

[@lpconserv6074]

The green typically is either chrome or copper, but the copper is usually more blue green. That green looks like chrome. Zinc should not give any color if pure, but rarely is pure. Im curious about your passivation chemicals. Would you mind sharing a bit of the labeling here? I can guess the blueing chemicals but the yellow one has me very curious. In solution chrome and also vanadium can give a yellow tint, but not that strong, so I really am at a loss as to what that is. Keep up the really interesting content. I have not seen a canister like that one before. Completely different shape and function to my experience in the USA and now here in the Philippines. So you have me curious on many fronts today...

[@animeangel1983]

Someone above said the green flame was produced by burning zinc oxide.

[@lpconserv6074]

@@animeangel1983 Yes, I see that. I have tested both Zinc Oxide and Zinc Chloride and neither give off a green flame. It is common in copper which can be seen with a lighter and a simple copper wire. But the green from copper usually has a bit more blue tint to it. But that depends on how high the temperature is.

[@animeangel1983]

@@lpconserv6074 It's still weird to see it burn green if there are none of the usual suspects present. Perhaps it will remain a mystery like Stonehenge or the Moai statues of Easter Island.

[@allanmanley6340]

You must take the top off before you install the gas cylinder. When you screw the top back on it "breaks" into the cylinder to release the gas. Make sure the tap is closed. I have two of these with arms that fold up and a white cap to store.
