MODEL TS-909

The Alpaca is not the ideal "perfect" kerosene cook stove but it is well made and very reliable and I now have them in stock for immediate shipping via USPS Ground Advantage Mail (the new name for 1st Class mail). Alpaca heaters and stoves do not have UL Approval for indoor use - they lack a safety tip-over switch and operate similar to the many millions of Perfection heaters.

Features:  TS-909
  • High 8500 BTU heat output
  • Burns kerosene, lamp oil
  • Large 3.5 liter (3.7 qt.) fuel tank
  • Long 16 hour running time
  • Easy-cleaning top pan
  • Fuel gauge
  • Comfortable carry handles
  • Steel drip tray base
  • Quality fit and finish
  • Pot/Pan supports built-in to make cooking easy.
  •  An all-metal catalytic chimney for complete safety - nothing to break
  • Versatile! Use as a heater!

In stock, mailed quickly via USPS Ground Advantage (The new name for 1st Class packages), postage only $14.95 at checkout.

Fiberglass wick #7C for Alpaca TS-808 & -909 stoves

$9.95

Custom all-cotton wick for the Alpaca TS-808 & -909 stoves

$19.95

The fiberglass wick is generally for high heat applications such as canning or using the stove as an emergency heater.  Some owners of the Alpaca prefer to use an all-cotton wick instead of the fiberglass wick for low temperature, simmering heat settings.  There are no commercially-made all-cotton wicks available - I have to make them using the appropriate wick material. 
Wick Replacement Procedure

PARTS FOR ALPACA HEATERS & STOVES
IN STOCK

The Alpaca TS-909 has replaced the TS-808. The main difference is that the new TS-909 is smaller diameter and thus more compact. Both models use the same wick.

METAL BODY FOR ALPACA 808

Metal body only for TS-808 model only.  No other parts are with the circular body. See photo, click here

Using the Alpaca Cook Stoves as emergency heaters

A "heat sink" is placed atop a stove to use the stove as a heater.  The heat sink absorbs and moderates heat while also covering the open flame.

Alpaca TS-808 Detailed Images  (Click an image to enlarge it.)  The TS-808 is no longer stocked. The TS-909 now in stock for sale is a bit thinner and a little taller than the TS-808 pictured below.  The photos look extremely similar and thus the photos show essentially the same parts.  The top plate on the TS-909 will not fit the TS-808 heater; otherwise, wick, fill cap, etc are identical. The instructions for use are the same.

TS-808's are visually similar to the heater shown at left except the top plate has four permanently attached cooking pot/pan supports as shown in this photo.

METAL_CHIMNEY

The catalytic burner unit ''chimney'' is metal on the TS-808 and TS-909. Other models of the Alpaca such as the TS-77 have a glass chimney.  Thus the TS-909 listed for sale above is perfectly safe to use as an emergency cooker as well as a heater.  A glass chimney can easily shatter if even a drop of water drips onto the hot glass!  But a metal chimney will not break even if dropped.
