New Zebra 14cm Billy Can "LunchBox".

[Home Guard]

Picked up THIS today from Becketts of Norwich.

Great little tin. Has a pan handle rather than a loop handle. The pan handle fold over the top too and is secured via an over-centre latch, so everything is "noice 'n toight" when in transit. It also has two handles on the top so it can also be suspended above the fire like a normal billy can.

It isnt too deep, which is why I'm not a big fan of normal Billys. It has a great dish with it which I may drill a few holes in for steaming. (I'm full of ideas.)

I hope to try it out over my trangia with homemade pot stand and then over a fire this weekend.

Hmmm. I imagine the wild wood stove would sit in there just perfectly.

Wow, I've never seen one of those stoves before. I've searched the Wild Stoves website and can't seem to find any mention of it's height when folded up. If any of you kind gents own one, i'd be greatful if you could measure it for me.

The Zebra pot is around 8cm deep.

Jake,

In a breeze burning a mixture of ash and seasoned willow.

I used mine in fairly strong winds over the weekend in Thirsk, I used a cheap go outdoors folding wind shield. No issues, in fact it was probably overkill.
