I guess it has probably been done before . Any info or a link to a previous thread on the making of a hobo stove for a 10cm zebra billy ??
Any help will be greatfully received .:)

A quality stove and I`ve used mine loads. One thing I added was to put four 2" screws through the bottom to lift it off the ground. These are retracted after cooling for transport.

When I read the title of the thread I thought it was about turning a Z - billy into a hobo stove:eek:
Much relived to find I was wrong....:11doh:

My local pound-shop have perfect s/s containers marked 'coffee' 'tea' 'sugar' which I turned into my stove (for 10cm Zebra). If you can't find anything suitable, I can send you one if you like.

An expensive stove there Pignut!
My hobo cost me £5 from Woolies and I have been tempted to make another from a - bigger - buiscuit barrel in our local charity shop - 50p!

Lol works though!

And up to now has taken one hell of a battering!

I also have one made from a catering tin of tomatoes, which I BBQ on every weekend in the summer months!
