On to stoves; which one(s) to keep, and why?

SVEA 123, pre-R, times at least a couple
Trangia alcohol burner
Thru-Hiker alcohol burner
MSR Pocket Rocket
MSR XGK
Primus Classic Trail

4ager:

I've eliminated only a few items of gear in over fifty years of collecting and I've regretted it as often as not.

I recommend that you keep what you've got. But if you're determined to get rid of something then the alcohol burners would be first on my list to go.

Get some Brasso and polish up the SVEA 123 then put it on display like a work of art.

Keep the XGK. Some day you might need it to sweat solder copper pipe. grin I bet you've got a lot of memories cached in that old stove.

Keep the Primus and the Pocket Rocket and use them for backpacking.
