Daft question but what do you want them for?

If you are cooking over an open fire you need a decent hanging arm, like on the Tatonka or Zebra billy cans.

If you are cooking mainly over a stove then you would probably want either a side arm or a detachable pot grab, like on the Trangia.

Both images are Tatonka and are taken from the Tamarack website, a supplier that I, and others, rate highly. As a bonus they also give 10% discount to full members (see the FM section for details).

Make your own or buy a homemade one from someone. I have a homemade billie which holds about 2L of water it cost me £1.98 plus some elbow grease.

what do you guys use to make your own billies? I have thought about getting an industrial sized baked bean can and having a crack but not sure if they'd be sturdy enough?

Think its mainly going to a asda/morrisons/ikea/woolworths (and anywhere similar) and finding something suitable, like stainless steel coffee/tea/sugar/biscuit jar/container.

Like http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/product/index.jsp?pid=50312161 for example

And the now infamous ikea (apparently also available at woolies) cultery drainer as the hobo stove
