SVEA STOVE | White Gas Stove Traditional Backpacking Stove
MODEL #879853001232 | SKU #mp-00022778
It runs off white gas. This is cheaper than standard butane/propane gas and it tends to be easier to find too. Also, while it’s not recommended, you could use standard gas station petrol with this too. That’s why the Svea is the friend of really gnarly adventurers who venture way off the beaten track. Even in places like the Mongolian Steppe or the depths of Africa, the chance to refuel in at least a gas station will never be that far away. That said, Optimus warn against using petrol with this as there are potential carcinogenic effects. How it Works Lighting this thing isn’t for the faint-hearted! First of all, you need to pour your fuel carefully into the burner, ideally with any little funnel you have (Optimus sell their own branded one). Then the burner needs priming. To do this, you need to fill the recess at the base of the burner’s neck with just a little bit of fuel and this then needs to be lit. After this has almost burnt off, a small twist of the ignition valve should get things up and running. If not, then a quick spark from a match or lighter will have her lit. You can then use that valve to control the strength of the flame. The Optimus Svea - is an ultra-classic lightweight white gas stove made of solid brass that has been around for a century and still sets the standard for compact outdoor cooking equipment. It's doubtful that any other outdoor stove has been field tested as much as the Optimus Svea - widely used by climbers all over the world, this stove is renowned for its performance at high altitudes. The Optimus Svea is ideal for single ventures, high altitude cooking or whenever volume and weight must be kept to a minimum.. The lid of the stove also serves as a small cooking pot.
