It’s made by a Swedish Co., and is really a first generation backpacking self pressurizing stove. Runs on unleaded. Burns like a blow torch and sounds like a V-1 buzz bomb when it gets cranked up.
Youtube search Svea 123 and there are some vids of it and what it sounds like.
I’ve had mine for 35 years, never had one problem. I paid $20 bucks new, now they are like $90.
I really like the penny stove, but for sentimental reasons I’m keeping the Svea.
Its funny, I found out about this stove by doing a little research on a Swiss army stove, and I just thought it was so simple.
I had to build one! And there is great satisfaction in building things that work, so I just had to share LoL
I prefer my old Sears white gas camp stove but it wont fit in my backpack.
