Open fire in a polish army lavvu??

[bilmo-p5]

I was thinking of using one of those aluminium beer kegs (not the ones brewers deliver beer in, but those 5L ones you get in supermarkets).

My thinking was to use something like a Campingaz 907 bottle.

could always make something that works along these lines or buy one of these but sheesh kebabos its expensive and meths would need to be bought in bulk

Good choice, I use Ethanol in mine (<£1 a litre), much safer than an open fire in a setup so small as these Polish poncho's. To be honest I'm waiting to read a thread about one of you going for the Darwin award by having an open fire in such a small place...the idea of it is shere lunacy. While this comment may upset sum I feel better for voicing my concerns and promise not to say 'I told you so' when someone here gets a trip to the local burns unit or undertakers.

Would try to post pics here but have not done it before and i've had a couple of glasses so won't attempt it now

Where oh where did you get the shim steel from?

I ordered it from Cromwells depot in Leeds. It was the same as this only mine was mild steel.
