Jump down off the hostility wagon guys, I have a properly functioning propane furnace but travel in the far north a lot (arctic and sub arctic) and do not generally camp in campgrounds. Here to fore I have tent camped or used a pop up where such a stove wasnt practical and I am not looking for cheap here as these are far from inexpensive.

Its clear most of you have no idea what I am talking about but these stoves are very common around the world and I even used them in the Army. They are a non-pressurized system that uses a metering valve to regulate the fuel and I have had one in a fishing boat and in a cabin and they work great.

This is a particular stove I have been impressed with in the past but there are several others of various sizes: http://www.refleks-olieovne.dk/default.asp?pagenumber=1567.

I have to say, throwing out a question and getting flak for thinking differently because I have different needs is not a very encouraging sign for this forum.

Sorry I know exactly what you are talking about, we used them in the service to… I also owned one that was in a small but old mobile home… the metering valve was nothing more than a normal valve, counter clockwise to open and turn it more for higher gravity feed fuel flow… when the fuel warms from either the sun or the ambient temps the flow increases and the wheel needed constant adjustments…

in the service someone was always awake to keep an eye on them…

now it’s been awhile since I was in the service or used the one I owned, so things might of changed… what hasn’t changed is my opinion of them…

this is the same thing but is for heating water in large garbage cans…



if so what’s different today and how is it different???

I posted the link to Refleks stoves earlier. Those old Yukon stoves and the immersion heaters are admittedly dangerous and I want nothing to do with them but that is also WW II technology.

The particular stove I am looking at is something like this but about half the size:



Honestly, I am kind of surprised so many people dont know about these stoves. They may not be practical for an RV which is what I am exploring but so far I havent figured out why they wouldnt work.
