Second version of Gas Bottle Wood Stove

I've used a converted gas bottle as a camping wood stove for several years now but it's always been too low on the ground so needed a metal tray to avoid scorching the grass, it was good for warming food, even baking bread on a hot plate but you couldn't fry or griddle.
Now got another which is much more versatile.
Two trays swing over the stove either for BBQ or as a hot plate...

or both swing out of the way as an open fire.
It also fits my 4.25l Dutch oven which I tested last week while staying in Germany. I could fry the onions, leeks etc then add stock and meat and leave it for the afternoon while we explored the forest!

Mine is currently silver but will repainting in black soon.

It was even good for Huhn hot pot, Deutsch Wurst & Brötchen, well, when in Germany....

Nice stove and ingenious stove top with the made to measure Dutch Oven opening :cool:great thread timing as well for me!

Do do you have to remove the as it comes paint from the bottle before painting black? I ask as I have started on a mini 7.5kg bottle stove and don't know if I have to remove the Blue;)

I lit a fire in my first GB stove, it burnt off 95% of the paint quite quickly.
