Timeless design. This stove was introduced in 1955, still sets the standard for compact outdoor cooking equipment. Made of solid brass, there is no design obsolescence with this neat little stove, it just works. Only 19 oz, it features an aluminum lid that doubles as a small cooking pot. This single burner will boil a quart of water in about 7 minutes, with a full fuel tank providing up to 50 minutes of flame. 19 oz. 3.9"×5.1".

Over the years I’ve used several different stoves. First was a Svea 123 (#4146). Used probably ten years, and still have, all ready to go, inside an old Sigg Tourister cook kit. But to prime aSvea one must pre-heat the burner by spilling a little fuel into it’s burner cup and lighting it. When it’s just warm enough you crack open the jet for a self-sustaining (and loudish) flame.
It was replaced by a Coleman Peak 1 which was configured similarly but had a priming pump so it was easier to pressurize and light. Unfortunately, this model was discontinued a few years ago. The closest comparable stove available now is the Optimus Multi-Fuel (#4145).
For the last ten years I've been trying to like stoves with the removable tanks but can't quite get there. I’ve used several models and brands. They are excellent for some applications, but the extra step of connecting the tank to the burner has sometimes been a problem because I fumble and get gasoline on my hands, which is the last thing you want when you are hungry and about to be handling food.
Gas canister stoves are convenient, lightweight and clean, with replacement canisters widely available. We sell two good ones, but I still like being able to siphon fuel from my bike right into a stove when needed. A quick-disconnect to the fuel line makes refilling stoves easier. We also sell these. (#4197 and #4128.)

“After 30 years of flawless service, it was time to retire my old Svea 123. It was still working great, but I wanted to get another while they are still available. But every stain on the old one’s brass, every smudge of soot, every dent and ding bespeaks of hot tea on cold mornings, or soup during a roadside bivouac while sitting out a summer rain, or popped corn at a rally. She’s more than earned her rest...”
