Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
If the Ikea drainers are the same size as the Woolies ones i.e 12cm then pretty sure it would have to be the 10 cm Zebra as the next size up Zebra is also 12cm... I think.

you should really match the stove to the billy you want
for me the 10cm billy is to small i might as well use my crusader mug and its cooker etc
the 12cm billy is for me the best 1 person billy I also like teh 14cm as a good 1-2person but havent found a stovethat fits it snugly yet
ive used the ASDA drainer 12.5cm & £3 fits the 12cm like a glove

That is a nice set-up; I'm very impressed. I really like the fire-steel: what size is it? How easy was it to drill?

its a 5/16" (8mm most are 9mm) 4" long (most are 3") from Going Gear see the traders shops forums
its easy to drill as its soft just a little bright

Edit : got it wrong this steel is 5/16" not 3/8"

I think I might have to try that out! Maybe get a vice first, though...

A 12cm billy fits exactly on top of the IKEA drainer. The drainer fits inside the billy but is deeper so the lid does not sit on top for storage.
I looked at two ASDA stores at the weekend and wasn't able to find their drainers. It would be good to know if you they still do them. Good luck!

I have recently aquired a 14cm zebra kettle and find it a great size for 2 or more people. It doesn't fit in my hobo stove (wilko biscuit tin £2.00) but the hobo complete with brew kit and collapsible blow poker fit nicely inside the zebra. My hobo set up is now good for solo trips without the zebra or for more people with the zebra.

Stainless Steel ice bucket from Pound Land fits perfectly inside the Ikea drainer. I bought one and a small stainless steel saucepan from there to make into a lid.
Here are a few photos
This is the 12cm billy with ikea and the pound land stuff
They fit together like this
or like this
My idea was to either remove the handle from the saucepan or bend it into a better position.
The thing with the ice bucket is that it has two lugs on each side so you can fit a wire bail arm if you want to.
As I say this is still a work in progress so no idea how it will work when I have sorted it.
Hope this helps

Just to add the saucpan fits quite snugly to the top of the ice bucket if it is not clear from the photos.

Hi seems the ASDA Drainer is getting hard to find which is a pain as i want another to do a tidier job
I cut it with my 4" angle grinder and slitting disc not particularly neatly and uses a file and wet n dry to take the burr off
currently making oen out os a SMA baby milk tins as the 12cm is an exact fit in it tho its a little deeper than tehdrainer gives a bit more storage between the billy and Hobo when packed for dirty kit

agree with the sma tin idea, though i have messed up my first attempt as i cut the fuel window to large and the tin lost its structural stability. will have another go when we have an empty tin!
