Thanks 👍

@Bez stopy Many thanks! Love your outdoor adventure videos. 👍 BD

@BluegrassBushcraft Thanks! 👍 BD

@Rysiek N. Thanks! And, yes, exactly my intent! I had the date here on my calendar but was afraid to mention it in the video as I didn’t see anything going on about Pressure Stove Day at the regular social forums. I thought maybe I’d goofed! 😲 Thanks both for the shout-out and the confirmation I got the date right. 👍😎 BD

@Cameron Lewington Thanks Cam! Hey! You're in the UK. A feller in the comments asked about when these were used. I said I thought, but didn't know for sure, early 1950's through 1970's. Does that sound about right to you? Thanks! BD

@@BernieDawgCinema yes it does sound right from my limited knowledge, reinforced with the fact they now have a no12. Cam

@Cameron Lewington Thanks Cam! Do you know if the #12 are still in use by troops? They are definitely a step up from the #2. BD

@Oxxnarr D'flame Thanks 👍 BD

Thanks! BD

@Denton Slovacek Aw, shucks. ☺️ Thanks Denton! BD

@Ahmed Abdelbary Wow! Thanks, Ahmed. ☺️🙏 BD

@Jef Blogs Did you like them? BD

@hrodwulf8093 Hey! If you watch the video at this point kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMqaZNFi2J_epGg.html you can see how the nut that holds the knob on the spindle shaft is soldered to the end of the spindle shaft with lead/tin alloy solder. It should have come that way. If yours doesn't, you'll need to do that to secure the nut. But, the brass knob itself should be keyed to fit the flats on the spindle shaft, too. The knob should not spin freely. Check yours and see. Maybe someone stripped it out. BD

@Daniel Grenier Thanks Dan. I'm afraid I'm not the best when it comes to being a historian. From what little I know about these, this roarer version was in issue from early 1950's through the seventies. There is a later model I'll show sometime that's known as the "#2 - modified" which has a "sort of silent" burner on it. From my research, I suspect those would have continued to be issued into the 1980s. But, I could be wrong on all this. Sorry I can't be more definitive. BD

Sorry. I only made one for me and my stove. Just check with your local machinist for such work. Guys that have model trains are often amateur machinists and might do such for a case of beer. Reach out. BD

@occam raiser Thanks on the knob. If you think they are "dangerous" (they aren't in even half-competent hands), then you definitely are better off without one. 👍 BD

@Steven Scott Nope. Sorry. But, I've shown you how to do it yourself (or have a machinist friend or for-hire do it for you). Just step up and make the phone call(s), show the maker this video, pay some money, and you'll be as happy as a clam with your new knob. Easy-peasy. 👍 BD

Hi, I’m going through my hillerange stove and the nrv is bad, I need the tool to take it out, any idea what size the flats are ?

@Nixon The head of the standard NRV is 5mm wide across the flats. So the slot you want on the tool you buy or make should be 5mm wide by whatever the diameter of the inside of your pump tube is (ideally). If you make or buy a tool that is smaller diameter than the ID of the pump tube - that's okay, just make sure you don't tilt the tool in use. You can wrap the tool with some tape to make a snugger fit and prevent tipping/tilting. The depth of the slot for the NRV head should be about 5mm, too. Easy tool to make with a hacksaw and a file. Or, a Dremel tool if you don't mind all that high-pitched whining (from the Dremel tool). BD
