Svea 121L Vintage Camping Stove | Unboxing & First Burn Test (Paraffin/Kerosene Stove Review)

Unboxing & First Burn: Vintage Svea 121L Paraffin Stove (eBay Find!)

Welcome back to the shed! In this video, I’m unboxing and testing a Svea 121L vintage paraffin/kerosene stove that I picked up on eBay. This classic camping stove came complete with pot stands, a windshield, and even the original instructions – a real piece of outdoor history.

I’ll walk you through what’s included in the box, how it sets up, and my first attempt at lighting it using white gas and bioethanol for priming. You’ll see the flame come to life, learn how the pressure system works, and get a taste of why these old brass stoves are still so well-loved by collectors and campers.

👉 Future videos will include boil tests and taking this stove out with a vintage tent setup – so stay tuned for more!
