Many thanks.
I thought about coating all the metalwork in ACF-50

I use it on the bike and it's fantastic stuff.
That looks great if you don't intend using the stove but what would it be like if you do use it?

Dunno.... It handles the temperature of a bike engine OK... Just a thought.
How would I go about seasoning the cast iron bits.?

Ah, when you said bike I assumed bicycle, not motorbike.
As for seasoning, same way as you would a cast iron dutch oven or skillet but you can use stuff like linseed oil instead of food safe oils.

Nearly there
just waiting for the Mica window to arrive and it'll be ready for it's first burn
Quite pleased with how it's turned out.

NO!!! It's not designed for that, you'd end up with a fireball if you used itCheers chaps
I wonder if I could use panel wipe instead of paraffin ?
Lol.!! Many thanks for the advice, you've just saved my wife witnessing me shrieking as I run through the kitchen trying to escape the fireball in the garage.
She'd have probably just looked up at you and turned back to whatever she was doing muttering 'What's the bloody idiot done this time...?'
There’s always one person that can’t keep quiet for just a few minutes and wait for the boom
Robbi, panel wipe is fairly close to Coleman fuel and will run petroleum stoves, heaters, and lanterns (note the different word here, petroleum). It’s not as highly volatile as what you’d run your car on, but it’s explosive if not contained in a vessel and piped out under pressure. Your heater will only work the once on panel wipe.
Run your heater off the Base-Camp Paraffin Extra, it’s clean and doesn’t stink.
Try your local garden centre as it's used for greenhouse heaters. If you want odourless look for liquid bbq lighter fluid.
If you want bulk the I know Rye Oil do odourless in 20lts barrels by courier but you could probably find a more local supplier
