Anonymous OP Unregistered A	Does anyone know what model the 2 Burner Kenyon alcohol stove on my 1979/90 J/30 (#179) would be? I'm trying to buy a burner rebuild kit from West, but can't identify the model. Thanks!

I would prefer either option to the pressurized alcohol, and I'm sure my wife would be more comfortable using it. If there's a conversion kit out there please let me know. Thanks!

It's so much easier to use than the Kenyon that we don't mind using it for little things. With the Kenyon, it was such a hassle to prime and warm up that we didn't use it much. My one suggestion for it however, is to make sure that you keep the rubber disks that form a tight gasket over the burner canister when you're not going to be using the stove for an extended period. If they are not in place, the alcohol will evaporate slowly. Otherwise it's a great improvement over the original equipment
