Looks absolutely excellent :D
I said you could almost feel the cold fresh air in Stuart's photos, I can almost smell the sea and hear the tide washing in, in yours :D

cheers,

Did you vent it fully Gaz ? I've still not tried mine yet but I've heard folk opening up the zips and vents and they seem to work better.

Excellent photos guys. :)

As Andy says those cliffs do look "very" smilar to those down his way.

Can I ask what the two bucket affair is (I can guess) and whose idea?

How well does it work? Is it homemade?

Looks interesting.

Cheers

it's a homemade stove , it works brilliant very slow and controled wee cooker ....

A cracking idea, very inventive.

Is it stable, with it being quite tall? Mind you I suppose you take that into account when siting it.

What's it made from originally, if you don't mind me asking?

Did you get chance to look at the venting options on the Snugpak Gaz ?

If you can dig out Pablos review he mentions the way round the condensation problem.
