Also http://alva.ne.jp offers much of the same. The alva.ne.jp site isn't as nice, but the prices are a little lower. Both sites are extremely expensive though, and neither site offers anything for the Hank Roberts/EFI/Gerry type stoves that I can see. Lots of fantastic other stuff though (drool!).

http://www.whiterabbitpress.com might be a good option, but don't see anything that looks like it would work with a Hank Roberts stove. Did you see anything?

Lotsa cool adapters. I could go really crazy with that stuff!

Jim..this is what i was thinking about.
first off this coffee pot with the built-in Gaz tank is something i got some years ago without a can of fuel to go with it,it was cheap on Ebay,i did not want to use it with a hose and adapator but as it was intended.coffee is a survival item is it not? so anyway i ran across Gaz cans at a outfitters up in Ely Mn that went with the Scorpion stoves they had.i bought every can! i also got a twelve pack from a on-line outdoor shop.



now if i can find a adapator from the Hank Roberts to the Lindal fitting on the Scorpion can i can use the HR as it was made to be used.on the left is a real can of HR fuel with the rubber ball fitting and the adapators and hose from Chicken thief,i miss him too..

OK, I get it. You'd have a Scorpion butane can lying on it's side as shown in your second photo. Then you'd have an adapter that fits between the stove and the can. The left side of the adapter would screw directly into the stove, and the right side would screw on to the Scorpion can. Pretty cool.

The Hank Roberts type stoves were made for liquid feed (the canisters had a wick inside), but the stove should work with a side laying Scorpion can. An old cylindrical MSR can should work too, although check the contents. If the fuel is 100% isobutane, then you'd have to be very careful.

I recently saw some of those Scorpion brand cans in a little surplus store near here. I also saw a bunch of the Hank Roberts type canisters. I bought out the Hank Roberts type canisters (some were Optimus brand), but the Scorpion brand ones are presumably still there.

Personally, I don't mind using the hose and adapter I got from Henrik ("Chickenthief"). With the hose and adapter, I can use a full windscreen, and I can also invert the canister which gives me cold weather (down to about 0F/-18C) capability. But your solution is definitely slick and much closer to the original design of the stove.

So Hikin Jim,
I've loved my HR stove since the 70s, and as I had quite a stash of cannisters I've been able to use it for all these years, but alas, I'm on my last one! I've been reading all kinds of threads about retrofitting my dearly loved stove, and now I see in your photo the key to my quest! Where would I get the double threaded adapter shown in your photo? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
