Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for 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.
