Trangia Burner in a Hobo Stove

[jonnno]

I have a typical hobo stove make from an Ikea cutlery drainer. I'd like to take some meths and a trangia burner for backup / ease. Can anyone think of a safe and lightweight way to raise the burner high enough up the hobo to warm a pot sitting on top?

A couple of skewers through the holes will make a simple platform.

I did think of that but was wary as to how stable it would be.

Use a stone or two picked up from the ground.

As Wayland said use a pair of skewers.
You could also use some thick aluminium on the skewers to form a shelf which can be moved up or down.

When I use a Trangia burner I can bring the pot down to the burner which stays in the bottom of the Hobo stove.

Cheers,
Pete.

I think we have a winner! Cheers.

Upside down sweets tin. The type from the petrol station.

Very light, stable, and when the right way round can store the burner.

The sweets are nice too.

What a nice system! Can you tell us some more about what the stands are made of, and how you attached them? (hint: pics!)

I posted pics of the stove in Wayland's Hobo Stove Gallery thread and a description of what they are made from namely builders timber frame ties.

Hope this is of help,
