A picture of the stove tops ( these are what are now heating up , three are used and one on turnround ) from the vantage point of the lift platform. The burden feed conveyor is reaching above.
This gorgeous stove dates from the 1930s. It once belonged to the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. Everyone we've consulted about the origin of this stove says it's probably a custom piece, since no one has seen anything like it. When we bought it, it was completely intact down to the shakers, for salt, pepper, flour and sugar. That's a mirror under the light. This appliance has also been reconditioned to function like brand new. It has six burners, a griddle, and a separate oven and broiler. This is one of my most prized posessions, as you may be able to tell!
Cindy's Stove - Shot with available light, Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens on Canon 5D Mark II. Nothing says home like this kind of memory. Recommending the largest view to see how well this handheld shot did, just because the lens is such good glass. www.flickr.com/photos/cobalt/9024491979/sizes/o/

Just spending this snowy sunday morning cleaning and maintaining my cookwear. With everything being all shiny now, I trought I would snap a few photos.
As some of you will know, I have worked in outdoor stores for a bit over three years now. I have a habit of buying stuff, in order to take it home and test it myself - imho. the only real way to be able to say anything qualified about a product.
These stoves are, for the most part, the "keepers"; the ones I have decided to keep after playing around with them for a while. Those I do not keep are usually given away - or, if they are free samples, returned to the supplier or binned.
From Left to Right:
Trangia Mini 28T - cheap little stove, not as effective as a 27 or 25. But, perfect for a quick brew or heating water for a boil-in-bag meal. Packs small, weighs a mere 330g.
Of all my stoves, the Trangia Mini is the one I carry and use the most - either as my main stove on short trips or as a back-up stove on longer trips.
Imho. this stove is a highly overlooked one, which should be in the kit of any outdoorsman.
I have never used the small teflon frying pan for anything other than a lid btw.
I use mine with a cheap MSR foil windscreen, held together with a large paper clip.
Tatonka Multiset. A good Trangia 25 copy, in many ways better than a genuine Trangia. The burner, pots, pan and optional kettle (called the H2O pot by Tatonka) are all 18/8 stainless steel, making them a lot more sturdy than the Trangia aluminium pots - aswell as much more versatile, corrosion- and heat resistant. Heavier than a Trangia, but if you have decided to carry a full size Trangia in the first place, weight is not your main concern I guess.
Trangia Triangle. Small colapsable stand for a Trangia burner. I am still testing this one. So far I like it, though I would like it to be able to take smaller pots, than the diameter of the pot stands allow. This is a lightweight piece of gear (115g), not something I would carry around with a large pot.
A nice way to use the Triangle, is to carry it in your Trangia 25, together with an extra burner. This way you have the option of having two pots on at the same time. In order to do that, you will have to leave your kettle at home though.
Trangia 25 UL/HA w. the frying pan exchanged with a teflon one. The classic full size Trangia 25, with a teflon pan, hardanodized pots and a multidisc. Not much to say here; not too heavy, easy to use, sturdy, stabile... Well; it's a Trangia :)
This is the set I break out when I know I will be doing some serious cooking when out and about.
Trangia 0,5L fuel flask. Imho. the only way to carry meths in the field. The flask is stroger than the classic aluminium fuel bottle - and the ingenius safety valve makes it both easy and very safe to pour from.
(NOT MY PHOTO). This mod is worth looking at for a possible secondary air supply for a rocket stove mass heater. Interesting mod, for sure.
Taken at the Barney Ford House and Museum in Breckenridge, Colorado. This ornate stove was located in the kitchen and was used to warm up an iron, which is visible near the bottom of the stove. Barney Ford started life as a slave, freed himself by walking off a ship in New York Harbor, and became a successful businessman in the west. The museum was his house in Breckenridge where he was prominent in the business community in the 1880's.
(one for david)
The principle is to create a double skin allowing secondary combustion through the top vents. Ingredients: one big can of tomato soup (800g) and one smaller can of sweet corn to create the double chamber and inner firebox. 8-10 mins for rolling boil.

Model No. 96L
My original Primus stove, which saw many years use when camping and backpacking.
Being made mainly of brass, the Primus stove was heavy and cumbersome compared to today’s portable LPG stoves, but it was fun to use. Starting it up was a bit of a ritual if all you wanted was to boil some water for a cup of coffee, but there was the joy of pouring a small amount of methylated spirit into the spirit cup to prime it, lighting the meth then watching and waiting for it to almost burn away before pressurising the tank with the built-in pump. This caused the paraffin to rise through a preheating and vaporising tube before being forced under pressure to the actual burner where it would mix with air and then ignite into a very hot and powerful blue flame. The flame’s intensity is adjusted by pumping more air into the tank to make it larger, or releasing air by means of a small air screw located on the filler cap to make it smaller (e.g. when simmering). It all sounds very complicated compared to modern LPG stoves, which you simply turn on and light, but it was one of those things that contributed to the joy of camping.
My Primus stove always brought back memories of when I was a child during the 1950s, camping with my parents at Humberston near Cleethorpes. In those days, it seemed everyone cooked on a traditional Primus stove when camping, and intermingled with the pervading aroma of breakfasts cooking all across the campsite was the occasional whiff of methylated spirit and burning paraffin from someone just starting up their stove. I still keep my old Primus out of pure nostalgia, but it has recently been replaced with a LPG stove.
Primus Stove
Developed in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist and Johan Viktor Svenson, the Primus stove was the world’s first portable pressurized-burner paraffin stove and was made in Stockholm, Sweden. The first units were sold mainly to women who operated street market shops in Stockholm, but the stove’s reputation for efficiency and reliability soon earned it its place in the history books when famed and intrepid explorers chose it to take on their expeditions.
It was the stove of choice for these spirited adventurers:
* Fridtjof Nansen's 1893 unsuccessful North Pole attempt.
* Salomon August Andrée’s 1897 North Pole expedition.
* Roald Amundsen’s expedition to the South Pole in 1911.
* George Mallory's ill-fated expedition to Mount Everest in 1924.
* First successful ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and
` Tenzing Norgay in 1953.
And then there was me!

The first time I saw tile stoves was when I visited Vienna's Schoenbrunn Palace in 1970. Until then, the only way I knew of to heat rooms with with fire was the fireplace.
Tile stoves strike me as a more efficient way to heat rooms, since the tile stove provides a much larger surface area than fireplaces to give out radiant heat. Also, I think less of the room's heat escapes through the flue.
I get the impression that tile stoves of this size are no longer being manufactured, having been replaced by sleek, modern, thermostat-controlled radiators.

The Polytechnic Students' Union or Sampo Building is a National Romantic building at Lönnrotinkatu 29 in central Helsinki, designed in 1903 by Karl Lindahl and Walter Thomé. It has since become a hotel and is often called the Vanha Poli (old poly).
In 1901, after two competitions, Lindahl and Thomé won the commission to design a student union for the Helsinki Polytechnic Institute; it was their first major commission.
They named the building after the mysterious machine in Kalevala, the Sampo, and designed the whole building in National Romantic style, including the wall friezes.
The exterior walls are squared rubble granite (changed from rendered stone in the original design) with a round tower, and the façade used forms derived from Karelian gables and medieval house-fronts, and originally complemented the low wooden buildings on either side. The combination of natural stone and medieval features in the design was common in National Romantic buildings at the time.
The interior was multi-functional, including fraternity rooms, a restaurant, and a meeting hall two storeys high and measuring 17.5 by 13.1 metres (57 ft × 43 ft), as well as ground-floor shops. A functional mixture of medieval and modern motifs includes log walls and heavy wood columns in the main hall, pillars built from rocks elsewhere in the building, abstract ceiling decoration and woodpecker corbels. The original furniture was designed by Count Louis Sparre.
In the 1990s an extension with an interior courtyard was added, and the building became a hotel. It is now known as the Vanha Poli (Old Poly).

The impressive GLO Hotel Art is an arresting sight. Since 1903, it has been one of Helsinki’s premier cultural-historic landmarks – and an archetypical example of the breath-taking turn-of-the-century Art Nouveau style. It is more castle than building, with its majestic towers and balconies. Its imposing walls of grey granite cast an enticing aura, and the playful arch windows and statuesque doors do more to draw you in. Inside there is plenty of ornamentation to delight the eye, with stylized and boldly colorful nature motifs that fascinate at every turn.
Architecture such as this is truly one-of-a-kind, a union of the delicate European Art Nouveau tradition with its offshoot, Finland’s National Romantic style. The building tells the story of a nation rediscovering its roots and waking up its ancient shared identity.
GLO Hotel Art is one of Helsinki’s best-loved architectural gems. Designed by Karl Lindahl and Walter Thomé, the striking edifice was originally intended to serve as the leisure headquarters for the students of the nearby Polytechnical Institute.
Now, after years of living quietly, the castle on Lönnrotinkatu has been restored to its former magnificent glory. Every inch of GLO Hotel Art has been painstakingly renovated to reveal its original beauty. Standing in the building one can sense the swirl of emotion that Finland experienced in the early 20th century, as it dreamed of achieving sovereign nation status.
My original SOOC image, however, the burner was not that purple looking to my eye, when I took the picture.
