zebo/zebrite

[shelley]

Please can anyone tell me where I can get zebo? I really don't want the alternatives - stovax/hotspot/liberon. Or perhaps someone has a secret recipe they'd like to share?!!

Thank you in anticipation of a few suggestions

I've seen zebo sold by the tube on ebay.. was a few months ago now but worth a look..

Bad news - it appears that Zebo was discontinued some time ago. I reckon the Liberon alternative is pretty good.

Yes, but then it got re-continued again. Our local stove shop stocks it.

The Period House shop in Shrewsbury sells it, I believe they have a website.

Damn! I've been hanging on to a 2/3rds full tube of it as an investment. I was going to wait until all final traces of it had disappeared, then sell it for a vast sum.

Story of my life - my pension was with Equitable Life, too.

Pah! Zebo, new fangled stuff!
I've still got some Zebrite!!!
Shows how seldom I clean the fire really doesn't it

just wondering what's wrong with the Stovax stuff, before I actually use my tube?

Is it a fake modern formulation and nowt like the proper stuff at all?

So far as I know they're all pretty much of a muchness - some sort of graphite and wax hooch. I think Zebo/Zebrite has just built up a kind of mystical aura, because it's older than the others.

Thanks Penners.

I'm hoping to build up a mystical aura myself, the older I get. It's not working so far.

If one's level of mysticism is measured by the blank looks on the faces of others, when you make some profound statement, I'm doing rather well myself.
