I was out and about mincing around Ikea today and spotted these critters I think thay are candle holders ,,,

Great idea there.

Nice one, I might grab one of them next time I'm in there

Which size did you get Cliff?

 

[Twodogs]

Don't know mate I just grabbed two .

I just wish I could get to an Ikea store without it costing me half a day and £20 worth of fuel :-(. Those look as if they'd be ideal for the taller Tatonka burner, and I've yet to find a good holder for that.

Thanks for the heads' up on those, they look promising. I presume you've found the cutlery holders/hobo stoves?

Great idea! Love hacking IKEA stuff. Whenever I see someone taking picture of a kettle it reminds me of this...

ha! funny how we see things in an alternative way, well spotted Cliff.

They're good, but make the Tran burner gobble the fuel.

Ian, can you please elaborate, why does it do this? I'd be interested to know why.

Thanks

I guess Ian meant that there is no wind protection, which in case of trangia means more fuel used.

Could you measure it please? They do two sizes, 8 cm and 9,5 cm; It would be good to know which you have bought.

I was messing about with a standard Trangia bnr and a drainer a few years ago. I had the drainer inverted over the bnr and the burn really took off. You wouldn't normally expect a Trangia bnr to get SS glowing red. The burn time, however, was reduced by about half. I think it does this because as the drainer gets hotter, so does the burner which in turn vapourises more fuel, which burns and gets the drainer hotter...

Apparently good for burning wooden cat litter pellets in. I'll try when I eventually get out and about, although there are vids on YouTube. If they're different sizes maybe use one inside the other to restrict airflow?
