Theres a couple for sale on e-bay. One in the UK is 49.99 + 5 p&p. Its about what I paid for mine although I've never used mine yet.

They are a good bit of kit but are a little small plus do not trust the temperature gauge as its very inaccurate. You will also get heat loss and the stove benfits if you wrap the oven in something like a fire blanket.

I use a double layer of heavy foil with mine.

Hi Fred
Craigdon in Inverurie had them in stock last year, I don't know if they still have any. Maybe worth giving them a phone.

I know I'm answering my own post but now wondering if I could use this for smoking fish. Jack's messages from BC have left me craving Indian Candy (smoked salmon)
 
Surely it shouldn't be hard to make something similar?

I would love one of these but seriously can't afford £50+ for what is essentially a folding metal box.

If anyone has made something similar to this, could you let me know how. Doesn't need to be folding really.

Sorry for thread deviation

That look pretty good!, is the sheet on the lower shelf a baffle to spread the heat from the stove? Theres something similar in the coleman....

Yes; if I were to make another I'd have just a single central hole for the burner with something similar to the Coleman arrangement. I'd paint the inside with VHT silver too.

hmm, that Coleman looks like a good candidate for converting to a folding wood burning stove. Just needs legs attaching and a flue. Might be a bit small perhaps.

They are rather small and not that great. we have one in our store at scouts I have tried it once.

A budget alternative is a cardboard box wrapped in foil.

Look HERE for an example or HERE
