Let's Light a 100 Year Old Camp Stove: Primus 100!

[@kfl611]

If you are squeemish, don't read the ingredients of the summer sausage. Great demo. But I've seen other videos where they demonstrated you open the air vent before lighting the alcohol cup. Them pump pressure a time or two. Once your alcohol is almost gone, close the air vent, pump the pressure up and the burner should light. I like your Indian gear ! What a great find you made. I've seen antique Indian camp stoves, that were real tall and had multiple levels, but they were very expensive.

The flame is adjustable... Once the stove is burning, you can open the wingnut to reduce the pressure, lowering the flame.... It simmers beautifully. and if it's burning properly, there will be very little soot if any.

Thanks! I'll try that!

These stoves a great at various levels. I reduce pressure to get into simmer mode. (Like for Rice Aroni, is will stay at the lowe flame level. Much quite with the silencer burner. I used kerosine stove fo 10 years on a sailboat.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Thanks for the wisdom! I am finding with practice the more that it is preheated with alcohol the better it is at starting. Even when I think I preheated it enough I load the pan up again just to ensure I have a good initial burn without sputtering.

Wow. Thats awesome. Indian war mess kit? They havent changed to the modern era. Ihad the same thing in the 90’s in army. Id love to see you make authentic civilwar, and im sure Indian Wars. Hard tack

[@lalli8152]

Yeah i was surprised how similar it looks to modern american mess kits i have seen. Im not from usa so i dont know too much what has been used

[@toml.8210]

Isn't this the same stove you repaired last week?

[@honorableoutfitters]

It is! This was to show all the steps. I believe the damp spot under it was from condensation as I lit it again after the video and it was not duplicated and I touched the area and smelled it but found no kerosene odor.

@@honorableoutfitters Look at the low, spitting flame around 11:25! Has to be a leak! The Primus 100 is 100, this year!

[@honorableoutfitters]

@Pygar2 thanks! I didn't catch that at all...I wonder if I pumped it too soon. 🤔 I'll check the unedited footage and see. I really appreciate you pointing it out!

[@simonhawes1498]

I think you need to have new washers and to try and stay out of the wind to light that stove that burner needs to be hot

[@honorableoutfitters]

Thank you!

Yeah i was watching those drippings as well. I wasnt sure if it would be normal because he didnt mention them, but i guess he didnt notice as it was going

[@Pygar2]

@@lalli8152From his position, I doubt he could see it.

[@tarstakars]

Unfortunately for some folks like those of us who live in California denatured alcohol (marine stove fuel) is now illegal.😢...as is naphtha and Believe it or not Everclear.😮

[@lalli8152]

Why?

[@tarstakars]

Well apparently they destroy the environment....

[@lalli8152]

@@tarstakars Odd because to my understanding denatured alcohol is just alcohol products that have chemicals added to prevent people from drinking it. Pretty wild if they banned it since those products are used for so many things
