INFO ONLY. NOT FOR SALE. P84-15
The first attempt to produce a stove for the individual mountain soldier was the M-1941. This now almost forgotten unit was a good start but too heavy and used too much materiel in its manufacture.
The redesign -- designated the Stove, Mountain, M-1942 -- was a 17 oz folding stove,with 1/2 pint fuel capacity, that could operate for 2 hours on one tank. Its design took into account frigid weather and it was near guaranteed to ignite at low temperatures. As seen in the top photo above, it had tripod folding legs and tripod folding brackets on top of the burner to support a pan. The pressure pump was combined with the filler cap and contained a kit of spare parts.
