I’m a stove collector and restorer in Oregon, USA. In addition, I build silent damper caps for a variety of vintage and modern backpacking and camping stoves. The caps I build fit the “roarer” style burner and replace its burner plate. Use of the caps reduces the noise level of the stoves. They also seem to improve the efficiency and fuel economy of the stoves by providing a better proportioned fuel/air mixture for combustion.

Each cap is handmade from brass or 4130 alloy steel. The components are silver brazed together and each hole is drilled one at a time on the drill press. There is no automation involved, just lots of patience. It takes between six and eight hours to build one cap start to finish.

Please read through the pages linked at the top of this page to learn more about what is available. My contact information is just to the left.

All caps are guaranteed for life - mine, not the caps. :-)

For 2012, I am expanding my pages to include other products I make. I’m also working on including instructions for repairing your own stoves and including gallery shots of some of my own collection. Please be patient as this web page construction proceeds.
