Heres my take on a gas bottle stove, more along the frontier stove route.

I have a black utility kilt itsa ace bit of kit, wear it loads!!

it seams to smoke a littel more with the baffel in tho might be the wood i had put in it

Well its finally finished, made a bafffle under the flu to stop a lot of flame shooting up it. Painted it with hammerite high heat paint, luckily tho the flu is stainless steel so that can happily turn blues/ purples/ straw colours on its own. I set a small fire in it to cure the paint off...

No the front was about 190 deg so would probs keep it boiling, but I made it more for tent heating and some cooking on when I go away in my camper van to vw shows and meets tho if needed could easily make a pot stand to sit on the hot plate to raise it if needed

im not sure what you mean in the first part ???? cheers for the compliment !

Not sure on the weight will have to find out! Did a load more work on the stove today, made the flu connector and a guard that clips onto the front to stop any ash or small bits rolling out once the door is open. The couldn't wait any longer and thought I should have a fire in it , just...

Ahh thant make sense I'm sure i can add something like that to the firebox tho with it welded up all ready might be fun! Just ordered the flu (exhaust pipe) for it having the ends opened up so it will all slot together with ease!

Looks great bud, where did you get the insulation from?

This is the one I have, some how forgot to hand it back in wen I left the army!

I have one, best thing I have ever got! I have a vw camper van and camp in that all year round, I use the cobblestones as there easy to bung a few in a cupboard and there clean and easy to use! I have often done spatchcock chicken, legs of pork, beef joints, pizza, fajitas, currys you name it...
