    Default Another meths stove

    These are a good little stove, very controllable and they do come up on eBay from time to time, made by Turm, I've got three different models.

    Worth looking out for.

    I agree Richard

    Turm sport stoves are really good...







    Also pretty frugal on the fuel and very quiet when running...

    That looks like a Turm Tourist? I got one of those a while ago now, and it looks really classy with the brass tank and black bodywork (although I've avoided polishing it to a mirror finish - I like the patina on it as-is). Works really well too - very controllable, good tank size so great for simmering stews etc. Needs good wind protection, of course, as do all alcohol stoves. And probably one of the safest to use in a well-ventilated tent (although one accepts that there is nothing completely safe about stoves in tents - even non-pressurised ones, but I'm old and ugly enough to make an informed decision on my own behalf of the risks involved)

    I've got to paint mine, or some of it, I'll leave the brass tank...brass. I've got the earlier one and a table top model 38? something like that. When I was nursing and had to get up at 05:30 I'd brew coffee on the 38 next to my computer, lovely stove. I replaced the 'wick' in mine with pipe cleaner strips which worked well.

    I haven't dismantled mine yet on the basis that it works fine at the moment. Wondered about the wick though, as it seems to be about the only thing to go wrong with these - thanks for the tip.
