notice the blue band on the Sigg bottle..thats for kerosene..
i got this stove on Ebay as the international model,it also
came in a box marked as such..it fired up and ran fine
on coleman fuel..i have and use the old MSR GK..the one with
the solid pipe and not the flex one..and run it on both fuels..
sooooo--after running the new wisperlite on gas i got out
the kero bottle..gave it a good pre-heat and turned up the
valve with those results..big shock...not the international.
a hard look at both of them on the web and i could see the
difference...rip off???..maybe the seller was honest and
he was sold a bill of goods?? anyway it was a good buy.
i cleaned off the soot and it went on a canoe trip as
a back up to my Peak One..
this little stove is an Optimus 96..it's an old kero burner
that breaks down into several bits and fits in a small tin
box..its no longer made but this runs like the day it came
from the factory in Sweden..i just use this for brew-ups on
day hikes as spilled kero is a nasty mess in a pack..
i pre-heat this with alcohol..
