I had one in the 70s. I lost that one, but I got another one 2 years ago and carry it on my motorcycle trips for coffee. Great invention.

Just got an identical stove yesterday! I love it. Did you know that you can warm the stove enough with just the warmth of your hands to get enough fuel to come out to light and prime your stove? I love you showing us the use of the key to take apart the components. It is now possibly my favorite stove.

I took one to Iraq (GW1) no facilities, pre-internet, etc...The little SVEA happens to run well with aircraft fuel, which as a pilot I had plenty of... It was perfect to boil some water for a hot cup of coffee/cocoa and to heat up my MRE rations. Really held up well. I still have it and fires up without any problems. I added (back then) the pressure kit and that was a game changer. It cost me around $60 USD and that was money well spent. Thank you for your review.

That’s crazy to hear you got to use one of these all the way over in Iraq! Yeah these guys are great little burners, we bring it along on our flights when we go camping and sump some fuel out to use in it too. It’s great that we don’t need to bring a propane or butane bottle it’s all just one little tank that fits perfectly in a pack.

This the older model which needed a handheld cleaning needle. At one time a external pump was available which screwed into the fuel opening . A Seva123R with build in cleaning needle replaced the old Svea 123 years ago.

I still have mine, i bet i bought it in ‘88 or ‘89. I think it was called the 123R model. I try to light it once a year or so.

Kaden Scott. With pure gasoline, you mean high octane gasoline you put in your car right.? I live on small island, and all I can get here is: gasoline for your car, kerosene, diesel, white spirit and paint thinner. I want to know if I can use kerosene or car gasoline in the svea123r, before buying one of these stoves. Thank so much for info Kaden.! Help is really appreciated.!

I always just use any grade of gas. You may have to clean more often

just stumbled across this video. I have the same SVEA 123. I have had it over 50 years. That one moving piece changed in later models to include the cleaning needle to use before lighting it up. I love the way it sounds like a jet engine as it's running. But for just that reason I abandoned it for backpacking and just used it for car camping. It was just too loud in a wilderness setting for me. I tried other white gasoline stoves after that, had a Coleman Peak 1 damn near blow up on me once, had to kick it into a lake. Then I switched to canister stoves. I had a GAZ canister stove for years which gets my 'lifetime best stove' award but used proprietary canisters and they were bought out by Primus I believe and stopped making the only canisters that would fit it. Today I use a MSR pocket rocket. Hasn't let me down yet.
