    Also found this thread on the same where another Chinese stove is pictured burning (or not) diesel which it is labeled to run on, last but one post.

    You really need a Number 12 - British Army armoured vehicle issue Diesel burning stove but I don't think they are cheap.

    I had a 2 ring number 12 type but it got thrown out by mistake years ago it was fantastic. I do plan on getting another one one day buy the price is a major factor thats why I was looking at the cheaper single one for now

    OK so I've done a bit of internet research and the stove in the link seems to be a Bulin TK 111 aka Field Stove made of course in China. Plenty of people using them with white gas and kerosene with no bother all good but no one reporting anything good with diesel, from the instructions that come with them, just whats printed on the box and the stove itself, they don't list diesel as a fuel?

    I've promised myself I won't buy another stove for a while so I'll let you test it if you like :)

    Nearly pulled the trigger yesterday on the small Kelly Kettle. Looked at loads of YouTube on it first and see alot of people cook on it as well. That nearly did it for me. Volcano at it's best.
    Then I was looking at the Woodgas stove. Again a type of Volcano/Kelly job. No fuel to carry.
    Eventually whipped out my Primus Multifuel and Optimus Terra pots n pans.
    Took the Primus apart in minutes, gave it a quick clean.....jets etc. So simple. Fired it up, filled a pot of water and had a boil on in minutes. Jet engine roar is amazing. Pure power.
    I'll stick with it.
    Small, powerful, easy to maintain, light and instant.

    A jaysus, I didn't stop there. These stoves are perfect for crusader mugs as well.

    Hey, what's the story with that stove? The thread I've found over on the S&SS forum is the one about the Optimus stove.

    I was thinking of getting one of these before, but I wasn't sure if it would be good enough to justify the price and the added bulk.

    Interested in your stove though, especially if it can be packed down small.

    Won't break the bank though...

    I keep it in a 58 Pattern pouch.
