The pump is an option for the stove and requires the filler cap with a check valve. It will have a tube inside about a 1/2' long Wed, 15 May 2013 14:43:51 GMT greatyoga http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackingStoves/message/1107 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackingStoves/message/1107 I have an Optimus 80 stove. I have not used it in quite awhile. I have a pump for it also. Doesn't the pump have two parts?

I was curious about the kitten as it looked pretty neat. However when they get too Sun, 01 Jul 2012 17:19:12 GMT neill http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackingStoves/message/1101 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackingStoves/message/1101 Hi I have documented a few of my recently built alcohol stoves here: http://blogericious.blogspot.com/ Click any image for the hi-res view.

On the kitten stove that is.

I can't find it. I can find bits of it, but no start of project page. thanks Fri, 29 Jun 2012 01:57:34 GMT Ken http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackingStoves/message/1095 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackingStoves/message/1095 1) I did find that a hole punch worked best when the "guard" piece was removed.
