Optimus 111T into Honey stove

[Twodogs]

It had to be done ,
Using an Optimus 111T burner and the fitting kit from a Kap arctic clone kit for a trangia into a Honey stove .
The main advantage been remove the stove kit and the honey can be used as a wood burner , or in when needed a real snow melter of a stove

been toying with the idea of fitting a omnifuel to the honey stove.

Really like that idea well done. How small does it package down two once apart, anychance of a pic or 2

Nice job TD, Ed I've done the Omnifuel fit and it works OK, but as TD knows the best conversion is to fit either the 111T or Omnifuel/Nova in a proper Trangia set, its the ultimate winter cook kit.

Rik the original Kap arctic Trangia convertion is a classic stove ,
But for my use the Honey 111T conversion fits the bill , its nice to have the option of real wood flames ever now and then ..

Will I will get some packed piccy tommorow

fancy using the Omni in the honey so all bases are covered.

I'm not a fan of Trangia - too big and bulky and they dent and bend too easily.

There you go Will,
The Honey, Wind sheild and base go the the bag , The 111T burner and adaper go in my smallest billy can and of course the fuel bottle thats sigg size .

Here is the burner going when it was in my trangia

Nice one TD really apriciate the time taken.
It packs up nice and small, i was concerned the knob and the fuel pipe conecter would make it difficult to get small.

Might have to look in to that. Currently use a coleman duel fuel stove and although it is a good little stove it does take up alot of space.

Cheers bud

Dent and bend? What do you do to the poor things?

sac full of climbing gear for a start and the back of a land rover doesn't help - guess I'm just gifted.

Nice work, Cliff. Look forward to seeing some pics.

Just as an aside; many gas and liquid fuel burners can be adapted to fit in locations designed for Trangia burners, by simply fitting them into a Tran or similar burner with the top cut off and holes drilled in the sides and bottom as requisite.

I did it here using a Campingaz Tri-star burner...

 

[rik_uk3]

Done the Nova/Omnifuel/Booster/111T job and I did the conversion with a Camping Gaz Tristar a few years ago, its a really mean stove on full belt but with only three heat settings its a bugger to simmer with

I've done similar using the Tristar and Sigg set but worried about too much heat going into the aluminium of the cookset.
