My wife purchased this for me and I have had so much fun so far. Put my old camp coffee maker on it and it was perking away in no time. My first test drive was on a cold day on a snow covered, cold concrete drive way in the wind and I was impressed with how easy and fast it worked. A real joy and a nostalgic experience all in one.

Svea 123R
This is our second Svea. The first one is still going strong after many years and has been trouble free. I use white gas only. Priming is easy with an eye dropper (just use a little gas from the tank). As advertised runs 50 minutes at full blast. Did a simmer test on a full tank ( 4.5 ounces, measured ). After running 3 minutes full blast, turned to lowest setting that would still produce a blue flame. Ran for 2 hours ( adjusted the flame 3 or 4 times ) and had a little over 2 ounces fuel remaining ( measured ). Would estimate it would simmer well over 3 hours. This one spends a lot of time in a horses's saddle bag (inside of an aluminum can from a M1950 stove). The pot supports will adjust to fit oddball cook pots ( SWEDISH MESS KITS,CANTEEN CUPS, etc...). No bottles to hook up, no pump to mess with, no generator to clog, no o-rings to leak ( has one rubber washer in the tank lid ). It just works every time no matter what.

This has been a great stove. No compressed gas or externally attached gas bottles necessary, it is all self contained. Until you know what you are doing, it is a little tricky starting this up. If you don't have previous experience, there are many great video's on [...]. I would purchase this stove again.

I'm very satisfied with the purchase of the OPTIMUS SVEA 123R stove. Forget about buying this on E--y, when you can buy it brand new at Amazon. The stove is made in Sweden and very compact, consider that the tank and burner is all in one unit. It may look like antique, but it's so easy to used. The instruction stated to fill the tank with 2/3 full of white gas, but maybe I have filled it a little more than 2/3 full (be sure there is air space between the gas and the top of the tank). I then put a few drop of white gas on the spirit cup on top of the tank to prime. Get a lighter and light the gas on the spirit cup to heat up the tank. When the fire die out, just get the gas key nob and turn on the stove slightly, then light it up with a lighter under the burner. From priming the tank to having the burner all light up take me about one minute. No hand pumping the tank to built pressure like other stoves. Getting the SVEA stove started is so easy that anybody can do it (just be careful about safe handling of gas and fire). The instruction stated that this stove can run up to 50 minutes on full throttle, just on 4 oz of fuel. The fire is adjustable, so I'm sure the fuel will go much longer if you are cooking with lower heat. I watch on youtube on how to used this stove, and some people put way too much fuel (creating a big fire ball and wasting fuel) just to prime the tank. All you need is just a few drop of fuel on the spirit cup to prime the tank. Now I know why many people love this old school stove and used it half of their lifetime. Otimus SVEA 123 stove history is over a hundred years old. Hopefully the company continue making this stove with the highest quality. Optimus is doing a good job!!!

The Svea 123 climber stove is extremely compact, robust, and best of all... reliable. I've owned several backpacking stoves and this one is my favorite. No pump and very few parts make this a very simple stove that you can count on when you need it. Plus, it burns a variety of fuels including white gas so you won't have trouble getting it started when it is cold out. Compared to other stoves it may weigh a few more ounces but the reliability is definately worth it. Great little stove.
