snip...... It can be an exercise in innovation and adaptability.

cheers,
Toddy

that sounds like a challenge. :D

saying that - it would be hard to beat £1 lol.

these certainly look like rather cool kit to have. - are they not a bit of a bugger to tend to?

never used one myself - i use a Swedish army meths stove- does the trick for boil in the bag stuff! :D

Windshield - free (wombled tin sheet)

No, they're really easy to work, fun too, kind of therapeutically pyro y'know? something primal about a *real* fire :D even a little one like this.

:D :D I confess, Russ made mine, I try and barter things I make for things he makes, so it kind of balances though. The hobo is a good thing :cool:

couldnt agree more Mary - i have a wood burning stove at home in dorset and you can spend hours just sat watching the flames dance around.

it can be really very therapeutic.

Hi Bush Tycoon,

I've got some timber ties here , not Staifix but much the same.
Made from stainless steel and would do the job, I've just put three on a MKII Hobo :).

If you've no luck in finding the Staifix ones PM me your address and I'll send three on.

Cheers,
Pete.
