Articles

G. LaMar Kirby's build-your-own-alcohol-stove page
A nice and detailed description of how to build an alcohol stove.

Kerosene burners who exploded due to bad kerosene
A disturbing story of what can happen when kerosene is mixed with petrol.

Sondre Danielsen's Homemade Stove
An awesome homemade pressure kerosene stove. The author claims that it boils a whole litre of water in 2 minutes! The text is in Norwegian, but the pictures are very impressive.


Websites

Gear Guy
The Gear Guy in Outside Online, Douglas Gantenbein, is one of Internet's most dependable oracles on camping stoves.

Super Shioshio's Room
A FANTASTIC collection of stoves! And there's pictures of every one of them!

http://www.ultralightbackpacker.com/ 
This well-traveled guy could climb mountains with no more gear than what would find room in a sherpa's cap - and that is the kind of trip he goes on.

Classic Camp Stoves
Ross Mellow has created this gorgeous website. Full of links, pics and information! The best item is possibly the Primus dating table; the second best the discussion forum.

Pressure Lamps Unlimited 
Alan W. Moore collects pressure lamps and not stoves, but the two kerosene-burning products are similar in many aspects and naturally many companies would manufactore both. His manufacturer list contains much interesting information also for stove collectors. 

The Lightweight Backpacker
An interesting site, with a make-your-own-stove section worth checking out.

Outdoor Review
A good set of stove reviews at this link.

Suwabe's Museum
Yutaka Suwabe's (Japanese-language only) site is full of very good pictures stove. Wide selection of models, too.

Wings, the home-made stove archives
A VERY cute site with a heap of recipes for sites you too can build.

Gasoline / Kerosene Pressure Lamps & Lanterns.
Shinzo Kono has made this site, writing in excellent English. Many good pics, and the best how-to description of stove restoral on the whole Internet!

The Handi Virtual Museum
Albert White has collected more Handi items than probably anyone else, and topped it off with aqcuiring the remains of the company. Ross Mellows and I helped him build this site.

Terrence Marsh' Lamp, Iron and Stove Pages
Terrence's long established website is well known to Internet-savvy collectors of all things kero and it's high time his link was added.

Awesome 220-member discussion list of Coleman lamps and stoves.
 

 

Professional vendors

These guys are the only North-American service center for Optimus and Svea.

Hunt'n'Hound is a fascinating antique finding service in the UK, run by Pete Wilson.

This British site is my first choice for shopping stove parts online. Mike, the owner, specialises in getting parts for new, old and/or obsolete stoves like Tilley, Primus, Hipolito, Monitor, Radius etc.
