I'll have to add a little jab here.
Since my SVEA123 and Coleman 533 have built in tanks, when I turn off the
valve, it's off. I don't have to disconnect anything, therefore there is no
spurting of fuel from the disconnected parts.
The ideal stove for Philmont would be somewhere inbetween the weight and heat
output of the above stoves. The Coleman 400 fits in there, but the choice is
yours.
The SVEA123 and Coleman 533 fill my needs quite well.
I looked up the Brunton Optimus Nova stove. What I like the most about it is
the price, $129.00. Staijnless steel you say? Hmmmmmmm!
Right next to it is the Brunton Optimus SVEA 123. What I like most about it
is it's dependability.
If only a manufacturer would make a SVEA 456 or even a 789, meaning a larger
model which put out more BTU's, then that my friends would be a STOVE!
