Swiss Army Aluminium Volcano Stove

[Zodiak]

Its not as good as a kelly kettle in that respect but the volumes are small so it is still quite quick.

Yep almost anything that burns will work at some point.Like i did to one cut a bigger hole and i use a borde stove man it gets real hot.

I think of it more as a kind of sheltered fire for a quick brewup. It's lightweight, heats up and cools off quickly and it allows enough air in to draw but provides enough shelter that nothing blows out. For a fiver, it's a steal

cheers,

I like to use those cheap simple stoves with Hexa blocks if I want a cup of tea or a soup.

In an iddle moment, I converted a trangia windshield form the Mini Set, available separately for € 5,-
http://www.trangia.se/english/2924.mini_trangia.html
into a separate burner for blocks and twigs:
The edges were folded over, four bolts and eight nuts made the feet and some more holes provide ventilation

Its round shape makes it fit into a large cup better than the original rectangle ones.
It works better with twigs than with the Hexa blocks, because here the latter burn faster and create higher flames, which surround the rather small (o,5l) cup and make the fuel more inefficient.

Nice use of the pot stand there. I have one that I use with a fan guard from the back of a PC to create the pot stand with. It fits perfectly into a 10cm Zebra billy along with a wind shield and trangia burner. I just want to get hold of the drainer that Wayland used for his 10cm billy and will have an excellent all rounder for hiking.
