@@babar69110 I do my best thank you for the comment and Views and you have a great day.

[@gedeon2696]

On my "keep & use" 123R (& Optimus 80), I added some fiberglas wicking [carbon felt is best] around the burner to hold preheat fuel. Otherwise an old Coleman 502 would be great alternative if you don't mind the weight & bulk.

[@charlesartificer2158]

I have a 502. it's very nice but not something I would ever backpack with. car camping sure. that's why these smaller format stoves interest me so much. Thanks for the comment and views!

28° 🧐 great job showing all the parts . I wanted to see the silent burner flame look like a coleman stove . Thanks

[@charlesartificer2158]

No problem, just wish the silent burner worked better.

[@BushmansAdventures]

I lubed the flame control valve / graphite collar with silicone grease. It’s super smooth now, no squeaks I have the G43S

Thank you for another excellent review. It seems that this is a good quality product. Definitely has a lot of value to it. However, without a windscreen or a blocking device, it could hamper its use, especially with the silent head. The roaring head seems easier to get started and to control. Like you said….it just depends on what your preference is. Congratulations on having your first 1k subscribers. You are on your way 😊

[@charlesartificer2158]

Thanks PP. Yes it's a very nice stove works very well. If you don't mind the Roaring head style than the ebay one is by far the better value. Plus you get a windscreen. But you don't get spare parts. So it boils down to what an individual thinks is best for them. Got some more videos coming on the stoves so hope you stick around. Have a great night.

[@Bucky1836]

I used mine in alabama last week yea wind blows it out but tin foil makes great wind screen 🤓

[@charlesartificer2158]

Nice hack

[@gedeon2696]

PLEASE be VERY careful using a windscreen with a self-pressurized stove (ANY BRAND) ! If too close you can overheat/overpressure the stove !!!

[@robinj.9329]

Other reviewers have said that the "silent" burner is nearly useless! The blast-furnace burner works great. Boils water very fast and can be adjusted down to a medium simmer.

[@charlesartificer2158]

Very true, kind of disappointing but it is what it is

[@babar69110]

just a small trick, for any screwing tap, just first lightly press on the thread, unscrewing, it will then find the good position ;) another thing, please mention temperature of the water before boiling, changes everything about boiling time ;)

[@Robb-jf7vg]

First thing I did with mine was switch out burners! The "Silent" burner was not very usefull. With the "Standard" or Traditional burner installed, it ran just great !

[@charlesartificer2158]

@Robb-jf7vg Agreed that silent burner is a bit of a gimmick.

[@chrissewell1608]

This stove looks like a modern day cloned version of the Svea 123R. Just with a larger tank, and more modern materials. It may be worth investment? I do like the fact it has a larger / deeper troff for priming fuel to rest inside.

[@charlesartificer2158]

@@chrissewell1608 for the most part it is. I like it I've used it many times it's a fun little stove. Just everything I said in the review still stands the silent burner is a gimmick at best and no pressure release valve so use at your own risk with a little bit of Common Sense. Thanks for the comment and Views have a great night

[@5USgRWFH]

A 3-inch piece of plastic drinking straw can be used to extract fuel from the tank. Just put your finger over the top to hold the fuel inside until you're ready to release it.

[@charlesartificer2158]

I found a 3" piece of fuel line works better. Plus in some states possession of a plastic drinking straw is a horrible crime according to some people.

I have my old brass Svea from back in the early ‘70s. I like the stainless steel copy too. Seems like the silent head is not silent and doesn’t heat up to enough BTUs. Maybe the silent head is just for warming. Seems like electrolytic corrosion is a thing. Wonder how they avoid this? The sharp edges might cause a cut finger. A little round file is the solution. Is a pressure relief valve needed? Thank you for this demonstration and commentary…from an old vet, retired in the foothills of the Smokies.

[@gedeon2696]

Also please note: the mix of stove material [stainless, aluminum, brass] can and WILL result in "electrolytic corrosion". Just a question of "when" NOT "if"! Old swedish, european, and Coleman stoves lasted (&still do) so long because they didn't mix metals to prevent this. Those OLD swedes and colemans were made to "pass on" to your great-grandkids ! NOT so the cheap chinese stuff. TIME is the "true" test of quality !!

[@charlesartificer2158]

Time is the true test, 100% agree.

[@chrissewell1608]

Maybe I am wrong? I am no mathmatecian, but aren't "Watts of Energy" an electronic term? Unlike BTUs being a Thermal Unit! 🤔

[@charlesartificer2158]

For some reason range tops on ovens are rated both ways sometimes with BTU's and other times with watts. I thought it would make sense to use watts for electric and BTU's for gas but I see both being used despite the fuel type. Seems to be whatever the manufacturer likes to use.

So the CCP has stolen the Svea 123 and made it with stainless steel and an aluminum cap? (not a good combination if you mis-thread it). The original svea burner cup works great but the silent burner cup has issues. I say, go buy the SVEA 123 and see if it fits in the cook kit for the G43.

Thanks for the in depth review. For your cold starts,i'd invest in some denatured alcohol,it burns way hotter,slower, for a better prime,espfor silent burner,and your cold stuff,also good if you only have a little bit of fuel left,this can b saved for cooking only,if yr out and about,cold and hungry....thats normally when you run out of fuel !!! I saw these stoves a while back,wondered how they'd go. So you did the leg work for me. Thanks. I got 1 Max Sievert Svea123,1 Svea123 and 1 Svea123r. ('r' denotes cleaning needle in later models,not present in early Svea 123) They are brilliant,you will love it wheen you find one in the palm of your hand. Careful !!.....you will part with some cash soon after!!! Gonna hang on to the Swedish connection,easier access,better engineering,always fires, My oldest Svea is nearing 65 and powers!! It'll be going for another 100yrs. It will definately outlast me,whoever i bequeath it to...hee hee,it will outlast them too!!!

[@carlinlentz6849]

I don't think the Svea 123 is made in Sweden anymore. Pretty sure it's made in Taiwan or something. Where I am in Canada on Amazon this stove is the same price as the Svea is so I would still go for the Svea but a lot of people have said the quality of the Svea's has gone drastically downhill
