It this the infamous suicide stove? I recall a model with a pressure release valve that would sometimes spew fuel, that would then catch on fire.

Until last week, this Svea model was my only backpacking stove. It's bombproof, simple in design and with virtually no moving parts or nasty O-rings etc. to break down on you. As an added bonus, its EXTREMELY loud burning volume, and impressive flame-flash WHOOSH on lighting, are guaranteed to turn heads in the outdoors...

Had (still have) one of those also, and it never failed. I wonder if they're still being made?
