Today my kids gave me my 7th stove, a rather awesome Trangia Mini. I'm curious to see how many stove nuts worse than me there are here.

I'll not include the 16 or so unassembled Juniper Box Stoves out in the shed, because I'll probably get around to selling them one day. My personal inventory looks like this:

Trangia Mini
Family size Trangia - Unsure of the exact model but it comes with 2 pots and a kettle.
Snuskburken Military Trangia
Biolite Woodgas Stove
Kelly Kettle 1.5 Litre
My personal use Juniper Box Stove
The "KISS" alcohol stove I posted about here a while back - found to be rather too flammable for actual use! Perhaps this means it doesn't count?

The store-bought ones alone come to about £300 worth of stoves. Can anyone do better?

Oh no wait, it's eight stoves. I've got one of those briefcase gas dealies for powercuts ;)

Well let's call it 7 "proper" stoves, since the homemade alcohol one really was a forest fire waiting to happen :D

I am feeling very left out, I only have 1 stove at present.

Coleman Sporters Unleaded

I do like it but I very tempted by other stoves,

Soto Muka relatively new petrol stove, self priming and needs very little looking after as it burns so hot and under high pressure. Cheapest I have seen it is £153 so not cheap

Woodburning I am tempted by:

The folding fire box or the Honey Stove

The big gap in my collection that I would like to fill would be some old-school brass Optimus stoves.

I've been thinking about getting my dad one for his 60th. They're what he used to use when he went cycling with his dad.

One up on me, mate. It only just occurred to me when I saw this thread that I don't own one. Always go with someone else and they bring the cooking kit. Shameful.

Cheers,
Leif
