Paraffin Pressure Stove, Svea No 5

The Svea No. 5 is a two pint stove made in Sweden by AB Max Sievert. On pressurising the fuel tank, Paraffin, (kerosene), is forced from the fuel tank through the rising tube. The burner tubes are pre-heated by methylated spirit, (alcohol), in the spirit cup below the burner. When sufficiently heated a fine spray of hot paraffin gas leaves through a jet at the centre of the burner, and passes through a hole in the middle of the burner head. The gas hits the inner burner cap where it mixes with air and passes out through small holes around the outer burner cap with a quiet 'hiss'.
