North Wood 28-30 June 2013

  • BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Andy, would you mind having a look/fettle with my No12 as I still can't get her to Burn properly.

..depends if you like explosions! I'm an amateur fiddler, not someone who knows what he's doing - at least with stoves I haven't played with before!

Join Spiritburner.com and tell them your issues - they'll put you right in a flash. Lots on there with No 12s, and plenty of fettling advice on them. Rik uk3 might be able to help you on this as well - he's an expert on all things stove, and I'm pretty sure he's got a No 12!
 
I like a good explosion as much as the next guy. I have joined the forum and spoken to Rik but its one of those things, without looking its difficult to tell.
PICS will bring it with me and if you get ten mins spare I would appreciate it.

No problem. Although on your head - literally - be it! :)

A couple of quick thoughts. Have you checked the washers - pump, fuel cap, pressure release valves? Try a bit of soapy water around all the joints when its pressured - but not lit! - to see if any leaks anywhere. Cleaning needle works properly (ie at the very least, can you see it above the jet when up, and it disappears when the handle turned down - I'm assuming its like the Optimus ones here..)?
 
I've got my eyes out for a sack barrow a la rough close if I can find one, I reckon they're the way forward for kit humping and a potential rocking chair conversion :)

Not excited at ALL about seeing you all in the woodlands in 2 sleeps..... *squeeeEEEEEEE!!!!!!*

I'll stick my No12 in the car too. Summat to compare to the duff one.
Decided I'll probably set away from Durham at first light (4 am-ish) and get down there for lunch time-ish, wi' a bit o' luck. Weather say it's goin' tae hoik it down around 3pm, so if I've got my tarp up by then, it'll all be good.
 
You can turn up any time on the days organised I have turned up at near on midnight before :)

Looks like there is an event on in the first field and cp1 is busy. CP2 has been set up for a shoot so be careful.
