That looks to be setup for using natural gas and not propane.  The hose barb gives it away.  Maybe with a 20Lb tank with a regulator on the tank and cut off the fitting on the end of the hose to use a clamp.  The jets would probably have to be changed as well as propane would use smaller jets.  Can't drill them out to make it work.

I was wrong.  It is a propane camping stove from the 60's.

Found this:
[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Twin-burner camp/RV propane stove. Very nice condition. Has original box (not in the best shape) and instructions. Made in Sweden in the '60's - Sievert 923. One of these sold on eBay for $300 a year ago. Yes, there are collectors of vintage gear like this! Works. Clean.[/font]

sorry for the multiple posting.
1) Small hose clamp to secure a rubber hose
2) adapt for 1 pound cylinder
3) will I need a regulator? (adjustable)
4) Large tank?
so many questions so little time, I am close to a propane dealer, nice guy too.

You will need a regulator like for a propane grill (non-adjustable) as the little stove has the control valves right on the front.  I would talk to the propane dealer about how to adapt a 1 Lb bottle if that is the way you want to go.  I think it would take quite a few fittings and a high pressure hose.  How about using a smaller 11 LB tank with a gas grill regulator?  Cheaply refilled and doesn't take up much space.  May be pricier than a 20 Lb tank though.

Those stoves were made back in the 60s and should last about forever
That barbed hose fitting needs to go away and use proper fittings for a hose.

A 20 Lb tank could be used for other things, like a heater with a T.  Using just the stove top, I bet you could go 6 mos. to a year before it requires filling given your limited usage.  Being able to actually cook on it might have you using it more.  Eggs in the morning?

I grill on a propane grill at the house about twice a week and a 20 Lb tank lasts me at lease 6 months.

Brian...the same guy later re-listed the stove for $70.

I wasn't trying to say what it was worth, just that I was wrong about it being setup for natural gas.  Adapting it for a 1 Lb bottle might take some doing.  The only non-adjustable regulators that I know of are POL fittings for the pressure side.

I did a quick Google search and came up with the following:

This adapter would allow the use of a 1 LB propane bottle to be used with a gas grill regulator (non-adjustable)  So only two parts required to make it work.

Brian...I shudda put an LOL in that post. Seems the guy didn't have the treasure he thought

 

[B and C]

Yea, I went back and re-read it.  It seems one guy was selling one with a beat up box for $70 and a comment was for someone else that sold one for $300.  IIRC?  Not a big deal, but I think Wagoneer will have a very nice dual burner stove for his troubles.

With my trusty General Tool flaring tool, solder gun and odds -n -ends brass fittings box am not too concerned. Thank you all for chiming in as my ol' friend used to say "don't trust a compression fitting" well I find if you do a good job you can indeed trust a compression fitting. Some of you will get this. The fewer joints the better. Thank you HDS and be seeing you all soon. Back to work
