Same kit I use for as part of my cook set ( wood solo stove and gas single burner being others ).

I bought a alpkit MytiMug which when the detachable handles are removed, fits in just nicely into the
actual stand. https://www.alpkit.com/products/mytimug

Cracking bit of kit IMHO, I dispensed with the mesh bag as I wrap two kneepads ( cheap poundland ones with velcro strapping )
around the outside, then the whole lot goes into a rocket pouch.

Other thing I did was this , http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128152&p=1599170&highlight=#post1599170,
makes a cracking wee difference to keeping food/drinks warmer for longer. Just boil/ cook and slip on the cosies.

I have the MytiMug 650 too, I use that mainly with my Honey Stove wood burner. Its a great piece of kit, never tried taking the handles off so far.
Nice cozy by the way, how much longer doea it stay warm ?

Did a video of my Honey Stove on my Youtube channel If anyones interested (shameless plug lol)

From memory , maybe about 10 -15 mins ( would need to check ! ) Main thing I found was it helped with the hot metal being insulated fron lips !

Also good for cooking, means food can be left to "cook" away in the cosy, freeing up the stove for something else.
