"Ive had one of those generic £10 chinese stoves, the ones with the orange box, that i have abused for 8 years now. Ive never had an issue with it even in the coldest of weather. "

yep seems I've just been unlucky, i remember when i bought it was supposed to be made in Germany?

BUT...i do get bitter & twisted and MOAN on the quality of what's made today, just look at bivvy/brolly systems, i could design a BETTER quality product for what these RIP-OFF tackle-barons charge and it would be FAR SUPERIOR AND LAST 20 YEARS!

BTW, I'm going to post this in both 2 threads LOL!

I may do a how-to vid on cleaning them...

heres my 2 pennies worth...

Bulin T4 stoves are SH*T!

found these threads as looking for Bulin spare parts.

PAID £30 my Bulin T4 is 3 yrs old - used about 20 times per summer

its packed up. I'm an engineer by trade and have taken it apart and will say Bulin is absolute crap!

i've cleaned it, the jet was blocked and burner internal wire corroded, got it going again, however I doubt if it will last a season out.

guy on YT recommends chickland one only £8.00 ebay ...now gone up to 9.99 sent to ya door from UK, Power: 3500W & Igniter ...he says 2 years and hes had NO probs.

IMO, far better to buy a couple or more of cheapo's - then you may get the price down p/stove to £7 !!

...its ironic what crap they make today, as i still have my original old BRIT 1980 camping gas stove that takes the blue canisters, and its been used for donkeys of years still works fine, only prob is the canisters are EXPENSIVE if ya can even find them!

MANY THANKS for ya review

whats your opinion on the 5,000mm HH ripstop material that its made from is it very thin? cheers!

We are going to get a LOT of rain this month (i got that info from a SECRET source lol;-)

so this will be a real TEST of the Wychwood Tactical Brolly...do post guys how its coping in the many days of rain.

I can still hold out with my old well-worn Trakker 50 Inch Brolly for another month or so, until i decide...

BTW, Wychwood do indeed still honour their 5-year warranty. *BUT*

its ONLY for the products made from: 10,000mm hydrostatic head HD ripstop material.

*NO 5-year warranty [Wychwood Tactical Brolly] for products made from: 5,000mm HH ripstop material .
