Hey, it looks really great! How quick to boil water? Where did you source the materials?

Hi
Looks very good
great result

The outer container is a biscuit barrel that was purchased from a charity shop a while ago for £2, the burn chamber was from wilkinsons for £2.75

Need to make a pot stand later this evening then i can post details about boil times etc

Wow, that looks excellent. Can you give us the dimensions of the biscuit barrel (diameter of opening would be most helpful), thanks.

Hey, thats neat, it looks very professional. I like that the inner chamber already has the lip and it matchs up perfectly with the outer pot!

Bookmarked that page. Whats the diameter of the outer pot?

Outer tin dimensions:
Height 15.5cm
Width (lid) 11.5cm
Lid Hole 8.8cm

Burn chamber:
Height 11.5
Width (opening) 11.4

I have seen a tin on ebay that would work as the outer tin to replicate this but its £8 shipped so im still looking for a cheaper alternative and if i do locate something ill post it up.

Just over half a litre of water got to a rolling boil in 7 mins 27 seconds in a open mess tin.
