Beatrice No.33 Cooker & Room Heater / Restoration

I saw one of these Beatrice No.33 paraffin/kerosene cooking stoves a while back and was completely enchanted. This model is probably from around the 1940/50s and is based on an earlier victorian design. After finding a rusty specimen online I set about restoring it to working order. Many parts were seized and a hot vinegar soak did the majority of the rust removal along with some good scrubbing, penetrating oil and heat. I added some very high temperature paint to the components that will be exposed to the flame and cured them in an oven for one hour. I reused the original 4 inch wicks which I cleaned in hot soapy water. The mica glass windows were broken so I purchased some new mica glass sheets which I cut to size. After filling the reservoir with odourless lamp oil I was completely blown away by the amount of heat it could give off and how clean and smoke free it burned. It's a charming stove with potential for heavy bushcraft and off grid living. It could be used as a room heater, for boiling water or cooking with a frying pan. It will definitely become a go to for heavy camping, power cuts and cooking in cosy cabins. 00:00 - Unboxing and inspecting the stove 00:23 - Disassembly 02:05 - Rust Removal with vinegar 03:59 - Spray Painting Parts 04:29 - Blacking steel screws and nuts 04:46 - Curing VHT Paint in oven 04:54 - Cleaning up wicks 05:09 - Cutting new Mica glass windows 06:09 - Final Assembly of stove parts 07:58 - Cooking breakfast on the Beatrice No.33 Stove 08:11 - Filling with oil and lighting the stove 09:29 - What a brilliant stove!
