Container for Trangia burner

[Jack Bounder]

So, the plastic bag provided with my Trangia for the burner is wearing thin and has holes in it. I'm looking for a pot to keep it in which, ideally, will fit inside the Trangia 25 (or GSI Halulite) kettle. What I would like is a small, screw top stainless steel pot.

Anyone got any ideas? What do you use?

I use the Trangia pot itself...no extra bag for the burner or anything.

In my T27 kettle I use the bottom of a Fairy liquid bottle, trimmed so that it sits about level with the lip of the kettle. The kettle lid also acts as lid for the burner container.

I find the burner can impart a flavour to the kettle. Yes, I can wash it out but it would be better if I didn't have to do so.

That looks neat. Maybe I can make something out of a tin can?

The plastic is better; no metal to metal contact in the bottom of the kettle.

Seems a Sainsbury's Hummus pot is an almost perfect fit Just happened to have one in the cupboard.

I usually just keep mine in the tea pot, but then again i've never used the tea pot to make a brew. Now i need to find a container for my meths burner damn you.

When out on a bimble mine gets wrapped in a couple of the heavier duty dog-poo bags and sits inside my mug.
Handy little plastic bags and technically a free/foraged item as the local vet's give them away here.

I wrap mine in a bar towel stops noise scratching and you have a useful towel to use as well.

Here's the burner in the hummus pot.

And here's the pot in a Trangia 25 Kettle.

It's not a bad fit but it's not going to last.

Mine gets wrapped in an old buff, that doubles as a wash rag/pot holder/hat etc that sits inside a GSI pot. Three stones on site and I'm away.

I have used ziplock bags with mine for over 30 years and never had a problem.
