Right, A list would be handy, so;

redneck - One (depends how much postage) + would maybe also be interested in their Belgian Airforce dome tent
Hammock_man - 2 (if the price is up to £6.00 each.)
British Red - One (if postage is okay and it works with PayPal)
Tiley - One
Shewie - One (depending on extra costs)
verloc - One
MikeE - 2 (if £6ish each!)
Still Waters - One (depending on the complete final price)
Grebby - One (depending on final price)
richardnhunt - 2? (if price is below £6)
Korvin karbon - one
AJB - One (price dependant)
Big Geordie - One
Craigeam - 2 (depending on final price)
WolfCub - One, poss 2.
Spikey DaPikey - one (price dependant)
The interceptor boy - one
Still Waters - two + Is there anyway i could also buy 3 spare cups?

which makes 22 to date.

I rang the supplier on Thursday to get a better idea of final costs (we had 15 on the list then). He was away sourcing more gear and sent me an email from his Blackberry saying that he'd get back to me early this week. Now I'm away in the big smoke (londinium) tomorrow and tuesday so I won't be able to get you an answer on costs (or the Belgian tent) until probably Wednesday night.

In the mean time keep adding to the list as I'm not going to bring the proverbial hammer down just yet.

I already have one and would like to show you the "Borde Benzin Brenner"
http://zenstoves.net/Petrol.htm
which seems to fit in the bottom part of the stove.

AH.... it depends......You can fit a borde bombe which is a petrol stove of a basic but quite sophisticated design in some swiss volcano stoves but the recent ones have a lip that is too tall ie the slot in the side of the windshield is too high. You can get round this by enlarging the slot a little or just bending the aluminium back on itself with pliers.
Despite its name the borde bombe (benzin brenner) is safe and works on the same principle as many petrol stoves eg optimus in that the reservoir of fuel is presurised by heating from the burner in operation.There is a safety valve at the end you fill it at.My only reservation is that the stove kicks out a lot of heat so i would not use it for an extended period as it may heat the aluminium to such a heat that it may be damaged:- but it will give a quick boil once you get the knack of lighting it! (there is a demo on youtube)ZDP 189 If you really dont trust the stove feel free to pass it on to me and i will find someone who will use it....By the way they still manufacture these stoves in Switzeland but it is a traditional firm mailorder not webpage/paypal. They do a pot stand to go with the stove allowing you to use cup/pot of your choice. I also replaced the cork with a silicone bung(heat resistant) it has a retaining paracord loop secured with a spring toggle adjustor off an anorak to create a slip loop the bung has a curtain ring doobry screwed into it to form an atachment.Corks/ bungs work better than screw caps cos they dont freeze in place hence the Swiss army use them and so do the Us army arctic canteen.

Anyway; to date; 28 including me.

Hopefully I'll speak to the supplier tomorrow about costs. In the mean time keep adding to the list if you want one.

Hi. Mad busy at work at the moment so haven't had a chance to report back for a while (I've got 274 threads to scan through!).

Anyway, the price is;

New - £6.75
Grade 1 - £4.43
+postage to me from the supplier
+postage to you from me.

(The tent is £18+postages)

I don't have a price for the postage to me yet, but when I do I'll get an idea what it is going to cost to post out to you guys.

Please bear with me!

Chris
