No, but it sounds interesting especially if you can carry it without tainting food

I thought that was just the fire blocks John's review was about?

It was, but Mary was referring to the fire blocks in Topknots article hence my link

Thanks Steve
I did wonder, but the article was on about the fuel not the new cooker base thing.

I missed the review

A better pic of the ring thing, it looks like it sit on top of the old cooker.

They seem to be only available as part of complete kits, with mug, lid and bottle.

Sorry its not the new cup and cooker.
This one still fits the old cup and cooker , in the vid there is a black cooker with a grey (ring thing) then the black old cup .

Hi,
Nice review on the cooker.

Well i have a play with the ring thing and this is what i came up with . The metal that i used was off a sky dish , maybe one of our metal worker could take this idea on.

I have used zip ties to hold it closed

It just fits inside

Then fits on the bottom for storage.
As said, i've only play with it.

That's better than the Crusader 2! Have the joins longer and rivet together? A cracking ideal though bud.

Thanks mate,

I think s/steel would be a better job and wielded. Maybe not so many holes in it for a better wind shield ?

Nice work Andy....would that work with twigs and the like instead of the blocks?

Hmm, possibly, it would be neater but the Crusader 2 is ali albeit anodised. If it improves heat channeling and provides a modicum of wind resistance (a bit of the ultra light foil stuff could provide the real deal), I think you might have yourself a seller there bud.
