Oh, and happy birthday for yesterday. Ooops, make that the day before.
Cheers buddy - spent the day walking round York city walls then found a pub for the rest of the afternoon.

Pick and choose i think, the mini stove and micro billy (with me mug inside) pack really small (about the size of an 800ml water bottle) ..... when i've fitted the knob n bail that is.
The tripod is three lengths of 8mm dia aluminium tube from B&Q at £2.74 each, and a 1m length of chain at £1.48. All i did was drill a 3mm hole through each tube close to the end, and then feed them onto a keyring. Still to find a pothook (i just know there's a packet of them in the garage somewhere, but can i find it).
Hi lazysod can i ask where you got that mug from?
Ive been looking for one like that for ages
The mug came from eBay about a year ago, took ages to find.

Thanks for that will have to have a nose.
Pignut, do rivets work?
No melting problems?
Grebby, that's a fantastic and well made cooker. I'm thinking of making a stove for myself out of thin stainless steel and looked over your photos in detail looking for direction and ideas. Would you please explain the design to me, so that I can learn from your experience. As I see it, your idea is to have a basket that will hold a charge of twigs and then encapsulate it in a jacket that will reflect back some of the radiant heat into the burning coals. ?
I have a whole bunch of questions: How long is the burn time and approximately how much water does it boil? Is it difficult to feed in new twigs, or to you simply stack in new twigs as the old ones burn down? If so, what happens to the remaining ash? Does the outer jacket soot up or oxidise on the inside and if so does it lose its reflective benefit? Does the jacket help by causing a chimney effect, where a windshear or thermal updraft draws more air into the stack increasing the rate of burn and completing oxidation? Finally, if you were to make another, what would you do differently?
