Brew up thread

[Fraxinus]

(I hate photos where the sea isn't horizontal but it's the only one I have showing the brew up spot).

Fixed it for ya!
Nice tidy job and great looking place for a brew.

I took my time and made (IMHO) a nice job of it.

Good work!

Still, it worked quite well but I think it would be better with some sort of trivet on top to allow the fire/smoke to exit at the top of the stove.

It works better that way in my impression. I have never timed it though, not that important imo.

Another IKEA hobo user. We make 16 of them at Scouts so they all had their own stoves.

On mine I've used nuts and bolts so they can be pushed into the ground and still stand firm. Spring washers have ensured nothing works its way loose. Unfortunately Bank Holiday weekend my cubs decided that it was also good for toasting Marshmallows so mine needs a good clean up.

We have used both fuel block as and wood with the Scouts to cook pancakes, sausages and also boil water. Great little stoves.

I know which I prefer, nothing is really made to last nowadays, I detest our disposable society....

Paul

+1 to that, my sentiments exactly, I too much prefer the quality of old kit like like military surplus (super grade 40+ year old & new condition) built to last... also I Love the early heavy gauge trangia stuff, when it comes up on eBay there is always fierce competition when bidding I detest the new backpack "light stuff" it may weigh less but the price remains "HEAVY" It feels delicate, cheep & over priced IMHO, even my car a 1998 Honda civic 140,000 on the clock lots more years left, MOT today... passed last year no snags...

That's a fine looking kettle you have there!

Is that the same kettle you've been using throughout this thread?

 

[Jack Bounder]

It's the GSI Halulite Camping Kettle.

Thank you Been looking for a kettle for a while.

 

[Jack Bounder]

Out in the Forest again today.

Trangia Triangle, Trangia burner with 27 kettle.

I was quite pleased with the Triangle (which I bought from Oswald Bailey for £11 yesterday). Small, lightweight, easy to put together and worked well. It was in a fairly sheltered spot but seemed largely unaffected by the wind. That said, it wasn't actually that windy.

Where did you get the Danish camo tarp from??
