I have one, about 30 years old, still works. Heavy.

I have a 30 year+ 8R, which is similar in design that works like new.

Weight
Is about 18 oz. I reckon that's heavy by an individual's standards. Of course, I never hauled it more than 5 miles in a day.

Yeah, it is heavy but I love it for a winter stove. Just prime it, light it and forget it. No pumping. Sadly I have forsaken mine for a Svea 123 for winter trips now.
