Cheapest Crusader cup/cooker/bottle/pouch available?

[zazer]

Hi

I've been looking around the internet hoping to find these as cheap as possible but if you buy them all together you get an extra plastic cup that I don't want and the plastic lid that I don't want which also up the price. If you try and get them seperately (cup, cooker, bottle and pouch) it ends up being almost the same price (after postage)..

Any one know a really good place to get these items cheap?

Thanks
Alex

that's a really good price, and i can't see any real difference between that and a crusader.
my full crusader set up cost more than that, and i got half of it in swaps!
good link AW

I think I read somewhere that you can use the stove for a bit of wood burning too.

That cup stand looks like Aluminium to me - anyone know for definate??

And it looks like you need to add something to put your meths / hexi / greenheat on or in to put under it

I'm pretty sure its at least a steel mug and I can't see why the stand wouldn't. They sell a little thing that goes in the bottom somewhere but you could just use some foil or something to put your hexi on or whatever. I wouldn't use greenheat anyway because it looks pretty rubbish.

I dunno about that - i've seen similar looking mugs in Aluminium, but its the colour of the stand compared to the mug that made me ask... it looks more 'aluminiumy' (made up word )

You can use foil but stick it on a rock so it doesn't scorch the ground (i managed to kill a circle on my lawn by sitting a metal mug of hot tea on it

greenheat doesn't just look rubbish..... it IS rubbish - unless you're lighting a barbecue with it. (ducks and runs :BlueTeamE )

I've done exactly that!

It being alu dosn't matter unless you actually use it for a wood stove though does it?

As you say, it's only an issue if you burn wood - though I think Wayland managed to melt an aluminium windshield with a meths burner of some sort once
