Do you mind years ago we had a 'Show us your Hobo Stove' thread ?
That was full of such good ideas
I haven't used mine in ages. I might dig it out and have a play
The Ti cultery with the folding wire handles might be what you're looking for.

Ye gods and little fishes, I went looking for that old thread (one of several) and it ended up 27 pages long !!

My own offering is on page 24 
Lots of posts now meaningless because of the photobucket wipeout, but still good stuff in there.
Do you fancy kicking this one off as a newer version, Tengu ?
Hobo Stove Gallery (Probably picture heavy)
It's been a while since I first posted this up and since then I have seen some great threads with other peoples hobo stoves in them. I couldn't help thinking that it would be great to have one thread with all these projects in one place to give people ideas for their own so i hope you'll...

Yes, why not.
i made a hobo stove from the Ikea sink drainer (how many of them are ever used for the purpose they were designed for?) and a snowpeak pot set.
the drainer has a cut out to accomodate the handle.
But this new set I am talking about is smaller, a cup, (sadly the handle is fixed) and a wee stove

sort of thing, -with a few solid fuel blocks it packs into a tin the size of a baccy tin

In the past i had an emergency kit that consisted a couple of hexy blocks wrapped in thick foil, some waterproof matches+Striker, an aluminum mug, and 3 longish nails to keep the mug raised off the ground above the lit hexy. I don't think I actually used it in the end (well, apart from the mug that was used constantly), but carried it around for years - i'm sure it would have worked through.
It does ! I still use this way or with the Hexi stove when I carry a daysac
Thats a good idea but my folding stove takes wood as well as Hexy. Its just a little bulky for everyday carry;
A folding pot might be the answer but they look like a solution looking for a problem.

The Primus 100 g gas bottle fits upside down exactly into the 0,4 litres Decathlon stainless steel mug.
Not outstanding light but very compact.

Together with this 45 g LACD stove it's pretty compact.
I didn't try if the stove fits with the gas bottle in the mug, because I usually use a larger 750 ml titanium pot.
And currently I don't reach that gear.

Interesting, I have a mk1 Crusader set and cheapo surplus store copy waterbottle, and think it's to big clumsy and wrong shape, I have a IKEA cutlery drainer never got round to converting it, but I just bought a yugo type kit hoping that will be just right for a brew in the woods while out walking.?
