Zebra billy.

[Chrisj]

I'm looking for a pot that I can put my Coleman Unleaded stove inside. I think that it should just fit inside a 14cm zebra billy but I can't find any info on the height of this pot.
So...those of you that use the zebra billy what height are they?

Or does anyone have any other suggestions? I need something minimum 14cm diameter and minimum 15.5cm high.

Cheers

Chris

Hi

It's 14.2 cm's

 

[Chrisj]

That was quick. Thanks for that. Unfortunately that makes it a bit too small. The search goes on. I wonder if that means that the 16cm zebra is 16cm tall? That might work if I pack a brew kit in as well to stop the stove rattling about inside.

I beleive that the hieght is the same as the diameter in all the zebra billys. Good luck with the hunt

 

[Chrisj]

Thanks for that. Looks like it's going to be a 16cm zebra billy then unless anyone else has any other brainwaves.

Yes. It does seem a bit of a waste that. I'm sure I'll find the perfect thing somewhere.

It may not be much help but I think about 20 years ago Coleman stoves used to come with a square metal top and bottom that doubled as a billy? A bit like this:

Not sure how you would get hold of one, perhaps contact Colman direct?

Great if you want unleaded leaking into your cookset!

Speaking of which, I ordered fish at a Louisiana restaurant over the weekend, they asked if I wanted leaded or unleaded!

?? Keep your stove maintained and you won't have a leak, I never have.

I had a vague recollection of seeing square billies for these stoves Limaed but have never come across them anywhere. As you say it might be worth contacting coleman.


Harley I see your point regarding the risk of fuel leakage. I have never had any leaks from this stove though (and it does get thrown around in my work van so it has had plenty of chances.) And it is so bulky to pack on a trip with the stove and separate pans. I could maybe get round this problem by putting the stove in a ziplock bag before putting it in the billy to take the brunt of any minor leaks just in case.

Not sure about the tin in the link but the old army peak stoves occassionally came in square (I think) mortar boxes. They were great for getting a big brew or scoff on. Unfortunatly they are like rocking horse feaces now!!

These are good value pans and your stove will fit no problem

Thanks for the help folks. The thing I liked about the zebra billy was that it was stainless but at the same time it gives more options having a whole set with the option rik_uk3 suggests. I'll have to mull things over.
