Stove fan and restorer Phillip C. was kind enough to share some labels he made. (Thanks, Phillip!) He used them on a recent restoration of his Phoebus 625 gasoline/naphtha stove. Here’s how they looked on his nicely restored stove.
The labels are presented in three ways: as pdfs, as jpgs, and as docx files. I don’t own a color printer, but, if you do, these may be very useful for you. You are on your own for formatting and the like.

AND! Did you know that if you are missing the caps for the Phoebus 625 you can replace them with a BernieDawg Wide Body silent damper cap? Sure enough! Here’s a photo:

Hi BD
Can I use the Radius UFO silent cap on a standard silent burner?
Signed, Silent Guy
Nope. Sorry, Silent Guy. A lot of people don’t realize that there is a size difference between the two types of burners. The Radius “Special Silent” burner is substantially smaller than the standard #5-sized silent burner.
If the spigot tube on the “Special Silent” (aka the UFO burner) looks smaller than the #5 spigot tube, that’s because it is. The “Special Silent” spigot tube has an outer diameter of 14.5mm while the OD on the #5 burner is 16mm. So, no way the UFO cap will fit on the #5 burner.
If you have not got a #5 burner in hand, here’s how the “Special Silent” compares to a standard sized #1 roarer burner. Hope that helps. BD
Here’s a list of stove part suppliers that I’ve used or know about. As I think on it, I may add more, so check back frequently. Pretty sure this list is current as of December 2021. These suppliers tend to come and go in many cases. If I’m wrong about a supplier drop me an email and I’l investigate/fix it. If I’ve listed your outfit and you don’t want to be listed just let me know in an email. If you find a dead link or if you know of a link I should add, please let me know by emailing: bd@berniedawg.com and I’ll try to add, update or remove it as required as soon as possible. Thanks!
Here are both the original German language manual for the popular Juwel 34 stove and my English translation of the Juwel 34 stove manual. Jpg files are first, and then, at the bottom are the links to the higher quality PDF files. You are welcome to share and distribute these files.

Down below I have some English translations of the Heinze Geniol German Army Stove manuals and box lid placard. Here are some photos of the stove I’m talking about.
I have a short video at my YouTube channel showing how to light one up with the quick lighter device: https://youtu.be/TEYuNicFRWE
The video has some links to both the storage bag and the windshield I show with the stove.
The stove comes with a multi-page pamphlet that describes operating, maintenance and repair procedures. It’s in German.
But, I’ve translated it into English. Just a couple of pages as a teaser for the PDF documents you can download below.
And, as it turns out, there are two different versions of the German language manual. I found this version one manual online here:
https://www.prela.ch/Anleitungen/bwkocher.pdf
Here’s the Version 1 in German which you can download here from my site or from the site at that link just above:
Heinze Geniol Army Kocher Manual Version 1 German
Here’s the Version 2 in German which came with one of my kochers and has some edits to create new sections and some corrections from version one:
Heinze Geniol Army Kocher Manual Version 2 German
So, I translated both versions. Here are the two smaller files that just show single pages:
Heinze Geniol Cooker Manual Ver.1 English Single page
Heinze Geniol Cooker Manual Vers.2 English Single page
For a booklet style view on your computer or device, download one or both of these slightly larger files:
Heinze Geniol Army Kocher English Manual Version 1 for viewing
Heinze Geniol Army Kocher English Manual Version 2 for viewing
For a document that you can print double-sided and get the pages located in the proper order (to make your own hard copy booklet), download one or both of these files:
Heinze Geniol Army Kocher English Manual Version 1 for booklet printing
Heinze Geniol Army Kocher English Manual Version 2 for booklet printing
There are instructions under the lid, too. They are not as good as in the manual.
Here’s the translation of those, too.
Hey! You are free to download these and even share them around. Please retain my little credit to me I put on the translated pages. It took me a lot of days to translate, so it just seems fair. Download and share them for free – it’s knowledge! Let’s be decent humans and share our knowledge and resources! (I don’t believe in trying to make money on documents that I didn’t even print or author originally. Nor do I believe in creating a silly “monopoly” on knowledge by restricting knowledge to subscribers. 🙄 Those ideas are weirdly mean-spirited and not very nice.👎)
You’re welcome, stove fans! 🥳 BD
