Evidently I got the scale of the poll totally wrong. We're suffering from some pretty serious "ceiling effects" in our data.

Or put another way - I underestimated the sheer scale of stove nuttery here on BCUK :)

Although I'm sure I created the poll with an option for zero stoves - where'd it go?

Quite a few homemade pop can stoves

I use meths the most, usually with a wood burning stove

I feel a bit inadequate here...

I've stopped counting, It must be alot as I've started to give some away to friends and family. I do try to use them once I've given them a quick once over. I found some in a box the other day and due to my poor memory, I'd forgoten about and brought identical ones to go in my collection. Still you can never have enough stoves, or lanterns, or tents, or rucsacks, or knives, or torches, or lighters, or air rifles, or air pistols etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That's one of the problems that comes with an obsessive compulsive dissorder. I am just happy I haven't gone onto blow lamps yet!

Know what you mean Si, I was over at the lock up a couple of weeks ago and 'found' in a box four Primus No5's I'd forgotten all about.

At last count- 12:

-Bush buddy stove
-Frontier Stove
-Coleman propane camp stove
- MSR Xg/k
-2X MSR Whisperlite Internationals
-MSR Whisperlite
-MSR Reactor
-Jetboil
-Markill Stormy alpine hanging stove
-Triangia alcohol stove
- USGI hex burner


Not too bad, considering that i've been doing this for over 25 years- I use the MSR stoves, Jetboil, and the Bushbuddy the most when travelling light-, and the Coleman propane camp stove and Frontier Stove when car camping and setting up hunting camps.

Some times it can be quite embarassing, my kids can't see the attraction of them so, I've trained the young nephew. He will take over my collection when I'm too old. A good few years yet though!

My lad likes a couple or three of my stoves but has no other interest in them hence me selling off a lot this last couple of years. Did you see the thread by Bryan over on CCS a couple of years ago about him selling the lot? As he is getting older he decided to enjoy the cash and got over five grand from his sales IIRC, a lovely fella, one of life's gentlemen.

I have two meths stoves (trangia and ex swiss army) and two hexi stoves (ex army esbit and a high gear one) and one hand made hobo stove, if that counts. If I had more space and more money, there would need to be an option for 100 plus!
