copper coil stoves

I got this in the mail today.

Can't wait to test it although on first impression, I'm going to have to re-engineer it a bit. (position of jet) cleaner coil bends, cut down the size abit, etc etc.. I think the fundamentals are there in the design. Just needs some nipping and tucking to make it perfect.

They are interesting stoves. Any idea how old the design is. Do you think it's a spinoff of something commercial?

Oops56 might have some vintage information about them.

I have a Takit burner. Not the entire stove like Ridgerunner has.

I wonder if this was the forerunner:

well things i see wrong the jet hole to big the wick should not be up in to the jet hole the wick 2 of them go up to the the top on both sides not all way round cant see the top opening should be as a thin dime to start then adjust the opening or closing it to get good flame

Yes, I noticed the wick being one piece instead of two as well. I also don't think much of the tank not being sealed. It splits into two. Its a good thing Im out of service and back at my desk full time to be the IT guy for the winter. I'll have plenty of time to tinker at my desk..

I hate half-ass workmanship...

the tubes should be shorter and the wicks long so as to bend over when in can to lay flat a all cotton mop makes good wicks test burn one string to make sure the all cotton mop hard to find i find a mop head at a lawn sale

Oops, could you cut a borde bomb in half lengthwise, in the interest of stove science, to show us the inside of a borde bomb? If you didnt have two of them,I wouldn't ask!
