Yeah, I've got one of those too... mine is circa 1964. Works great.

One trip my son and I did we had to go pocket rocket and 2-man tent! If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender

I carry an eyedropper with the stove, suck out a bit of fuel from the tank, douse the "spirit cup" and light it up... it will roar to life in any condition. I got mine in 1975 and it's still going strong. IIRC, I bought my SVEA in 76. I light mine as you describe. I found a plastic eyedropper made by Nalgene to fill the cup with. Filling the fuel tank was problematic until I found a little device the fits under the cap on a Sigg bottle that has a finger hole to allow you to control the pour of fuel from the bottle. I used mine all over Denali park, summer and winter (skiing up the park road) and parachuted with it into Bavaria. It never let me down.

I'd like to test my new Jetboil when it gets here. Can I borrow your big ass-fan for that? I don't have a big ass, so I never got one of the fans. A wise man is frequently humbled.
