OPTIMUS 8R Hunter Box Stove Gasoline Stove

OPTIMUS 8R Hunter

Purchased in 1997.
Has not been used for many years, but
Operation confirmed as of March 2026.

This is a classic gasoline stove (single burner) manufactured by the Swedish company Optimus. Commonly known as the box stove or Hunter, it is a renowned model that has been loved for many years for mountaineering, camping, and backpacking.
Main Features:
• Fuel: Pressure stove using white gasoline (or unleaded gasoline) (self-pressurizing type that does not require a pump).
• Structure: Can be stored in a box-shaped case made of a brass tank + burner + enameled steel plate, allowing for compact carrying (approx. 13 x 13 x 8 cm).
• Durability: Highly regarded for its robustness and reliability, capable of operating even after more than 50 years.
• Production Discontinued: Production ended around the mid-2000s (around 2005).
• Advantages: Wind-resistant with stable heat output.
Disadvantages: Heavier than modern lightweight gas stoves (around 700-800g), initial ignition can be a bit tricky, requires safety precautions (fire risk has been pointed out).

Original box and instruction manual included.

I have cleaned it as much as possible for this listing,
but I am looking for buyers who do not mind minor imperfections.

Shipping will be on Sundays.
