Cooking Kit Help

[JamieA]

Hi guys,

Finally got all the kit need to make my hobo stove (pics to follow) but am at a cross road as to which mess kit to buy. Choices are:

1. 12cm Zebra Billy - Durable and speaks for it self really.
2. Hi Gear Backpack 2 Cookset - Light and will have one tin for cooking and one for brew.

Both sets will fit inside my 13.5cm hobo stove so really stuck. Any input would be grately appreciated.

Cheers
Jamie

2, 4, and 6 pint pots, fit inside each other, price is right too.

I have the Zebra billy in mine. Works perfect. I found the handle too bulky and replaced with crimped on Mountain bike brake cable. Works great. The inner can of the zebra is useful as another cooking bowl and plate. You can just about make out the mod in this pic.

Thats the set I've got, not having alot of money they looked pretty good. Haven't used them too much and haven't had any serious bashing around yet, but I've had them about a year and they seem to be holding up ok so far. Only been cooking on meths haven't tried them on/in a fire yet [although I thought the set I got was steel]

Great, now i have 3 things to choose between. Might go best of both and get the Alu set from Go Outdoors and a Zebra Billy. Cheers Guys.

I'd say, if you do lots of long distance hiking then go for the ali, otherwise get the Zebra, and a Tatonka mug to go inside. That's the set up I have and it works well for me.
