Talk:Portable stove

message: "This is a stove and its container" Uhh... I'd like to see it fit in there. >.>
:note: the fuel cannister does not fit in the container with the stove, does the caption really need to say this?--Duk 17:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Has anyone here used Esbit?  One person I've talked to says that it works like a charm.  However, I watched someone else use it once, and it seemed to work very badly. --Smack (talk) 03:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: First: "Primus stove" redirects here, but nowhere is it explained what this stove looks like, what fuel it uses, etc. It isn't even mentioned in the article.
Second: The image in the "Solid-fuel stoves" section is of a charcoal starter - it's not a stove at all. I suppose you could use it as a stove, if you really wanted to, but it doesn't even have a surface to put a pot/pan on. If you just plopped a pan on top of it, the airflow would cease, and thus the fuel wouldn't be able to burn. So... it's not a stove.

message: Page was completely re-done to address many of the concerns noted below, inaccuracies in the original article, and verification/attribution gaps.
Note that the reference below to the history of stoves in military use is probably well-suited to a separate page.  Alexis Soyer (inventor or the first portable kerosene stove in 1849), also developed a large field stove for military use in the Crimean War, which was still in use by the British during the first Gulf War in the early 1990s.  WW2 saw a number of portable stoves for individual or small group use, by both the Allies (notably the Coleman "pocket stove") and the Germans (the Juwel No. 33).      —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Fogarty (talk • contribs) 15:48, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Coleman warns that Canadian gasoline shouldn't used with "dual fuel" stoves and lanterns due to an additive that will gum up the works. I imagine that other pressurized liquid fuel stoves would have the same problem. I'd add a note, since it would be an unpleasant surprise for, say, an American on a Canadian camping trip, but I haven't been able to find a useful cite for that.

message: The section "In the early 1970s, Mountain Safety Research (MSR) designed" reads like an advert. AndroidCat (talk) 06:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding of stove history of that the MSR XGK design was a significant advance. While the fact that a current company is listed, it's often the case that inventions are manufactured by companies and we can't avoid naming them. It gets less space than the also-important Primus stove, which is mentioned by name.   Will Beback  talk   21:58, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. A lot of that text could apply to, say, a classic Coleman liquid fuel two-burner at least as old as I am. AndroidCat (talk) 07:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's another important stove which should get appropriate coverage in the article.   Will Beback  talk   07:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

message: :My two sources suggest that CR Nyberg invented the blowtorch and Primus stove. The article gave a different inventor, but this wasn't sourced. I removed it. Not having been there, I don't know for certain who invented the thing.
:Also, I added some information regarding early stoves & changed things a bit regarding when very small stoves became accepted by campers. It happened in the 19th Century, except in North America.

thread_title:  What info on fuel using pure straight-chain Alkanes  is relevant to the section  'Fuel comparison' 

message: #British Army issued No12 multi fuel stove. Using a pressurised tank system it can run on Petrol, Diesel, Paraffin or Kerosene.
#The Optimus 111 stove burns white gas (Coleman fuel) or kerosene.
::*Kerosene flashes at about 65C but Biodiesel needs at least 150C. Many stoves do not have a large enough evaporator, thus only use biodiesel at full blast.
