Hello,

I have recently acquired one such and it seems to need converting to run on modern cartridges, does anyone have any experience as I am a bit nervous about fiddling with a gas stove ?

Regards

Get your bum over to the Classic Camp Stove Forum. The guys there are so very helpful. One of them converted a Coleman lamp to meths and gave it to me!!!!!

Be careful! Stove and lamp collection can be contagious and addictive. There is no cure.

Wanting to see which stove it is took me straight to this article on them, and a method of converting to run on standard gas cartridges. No idea if this helps.

Will have to keep an eye on theis thread. I still have my old Globetrotter and would like to convert it. I still use the pots with my old Bleuet, but they don't stack together well.

Well thanks to Nice65s' link, I spent a productive hour taking apart my Globetrotter stove (nothing to lose I thought), and an old knockoff MSR pocket rocket. Seems that the threads are standard so all went together very easily. I just need a 100g gas canister, then the whole lot will fit back in the pots.
