    Any experience with cheap collapsible fire boxes/stoves?

    @crosslandkelly , sorry was referring to packing with regards to the Billie's. IKEA hobo allowed for storage inside. But to be honest I think I prefer this set up.

    Billie's are Zebra 10 and 12cm, both original handles. Life has meant I haven't had a chance to test anything other than a kettle, butI have a (small base) cast iron skillet that will need to be tested as well. ATB Stephen

    @crosslandkelly You'l are dead right. This was given to me this evening and appears to be similar to what you described. Looking at it I would be inclined to leave the door open for easy access and airflow. Baed on the packaging I'd say it's from Shien or some other Chinese site. Looks decent...
