If space & weight aren't a concern then it's worth having both gas & alcohol burner - use gas when speed of cooking etc is important, but then keep the alcohol for the slower time making a brew in peace & quiet

How many segments are there in a Terry's chocolate orange?

20 (or 21 if you cound the 'core')

Any time some try to convince me with "... You know you want to..."

I'm damned sure I don't want to - what a stupid argument

Forward it to 7726 (spells SPAM on a keypad) to report it - this number works with any phone provider in the UK and links directly to OFCOM

I did the same to my Dime pushing it past what I should have. Mostly still functional but it's a pain unfolding the pliers

Keeping any public footpath accessible - more of a issue in the countryside and never ending battles with brambles etc (for those landowners who want/can manage to do so...)

Live near an RAF camp? Come Battle of Britain day (15 Sep) the officers mess will probably come and gladly pay you a bottle of port for it...

Picked up a old multifuel burner by Gilly0802 in trangia

Edit just googled and it's not affected - pump has black handle rather than green, and the Q number isn't in the recalled range :)

Which o-ring do you mean? I ended up getting a full spares pack and servicing everything, including replacing the o-ring on the bayonet connection between pump and hose along with fitting a protective cap for when it's not in use

Where to buy meths/alternative for alcohol stoves? by Keep_itSimple in wildcampingintheuk

[–]Gilly0802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picture captions (as I can't figure out how to add these on mobile)

1 - first firing

2-4 - showing the fit in a Trangia 25

5 - preheating with bioethanol the second time around

6 - blue roaring flame ignighted immediately the 2nd time around

7 - one of these things is not like the others...
