Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
storage tins like this are usually thin metal and won't last over a fire, also the lids look plastic or have a rubber seal on them... melt city.
The best billy can I have seen to date are the Zebra ones, I now have a 12cm and a 16cm one and they ar both brilliant and do take some abuse.
For £20 they'r brilliant kit.
Cheers, Joe

Looks like it could be our lucky day.:super:

THE ASDA CANS ARE OK - BUT THE GLASS LID WOULD BE A PROBLEM - Best cans you can buy are £1.99 from TKMAXX I have used one of these all over the place and it has never let me down. All you need to is add a bail arm.
Joe one advantage of thinner metal is a quicker boil time, my us canteen cup boils the same amount of water in less the time it takes a crusader and the same with my home made billy over a zebra, this also means less fuel needed ect ect.

i wasn't planning on using them with the supplied lids.
for 10 i'll give em a go.
at worst, the mother will get a couple of tins for her teabags

Try TKmax. I got a good Cookie tin with a ss lid and it works OK so far. Only used once mind.
