Charcoal starter, sell them in Wilkinson's too.

They get charcoal ready to cook with very quickly.

What are you thinking?

Looks like it could make a decent stove. Might be a bit big though.

I was thinking the same thing. But size is 28cm high by 16 cm dia, so not for the backpack.

But have been thinking about making a emergency kit for the car and this could fit the bill, like the fact that you can move it after its lit.
(not recommeded but handy).

Needs some holes for pot support, maybe a few other mods.

Its a good starting point for a fiver

Given the winter we had would you prefer getting out of the car in a snow storm and faffing about or just carefully lighting up a little gas stove?

 

[GoatBoy666]

You have a point rik, not sure what I would do...

But small gas stove would be more than £5 (probably) and gas doesn't last for ever.

This could be packed with fuel and with a well placed fire lighter ready to go,
so minimal faffing to get it started. I reckon. Weather permitting

 

[petrochemicals]

the sooner uncle bob comes up with a foldable woodgas stove thats not a faff (ie spring loaded) the better backpacks will be

I've seen these used as a base for Dutch Ovens...fill with charcoal, rest DO on top, simples.

Also do charcoal bbq's not give a lot of CO? Seems to be the one that kills campers anyway....

I think liquid would leak through those holes. I'll stick to my Crusader.

 

[torc]

I've used one of these as a stove and they're good but after a few lightings their blind rivets loosen and the whole thing gets a bit rattly.
I don't know how much more service I'll get out of mine.
Happy trails...torc.

They are good for clipping on low height guy lines on tarps.

Theres nothing in their weekly offers that I can find. Aldi have a load of fishing stuff in this Thursday though.

Maybe this'd be good for modding? I suggest drilling out the top 2 rivets by the handle then making cuts down from the top and folding the tabs inward to create a lip to rest pots on?
I'd give it a go but my mommy won't let me near the power tools again; Not after I cut the cat in half. And by "mommy" I mean girlfriend,,,, and by "cut the cat in half" I mean drilled a hole in the kitchen sideboard.
