You can almost see how this was developed

Start with a 20 lt can, put some holes in it = bum warmer

I want to heat the billy so put a couple of rods through the hole, camp oven well why dont I put the rods in the lower holes etc etc etc  :laugh: :laugh:

I'd be interested in how it works

i'd like to see it collapsible in some way - like the old Trangia metho cookers where the top fits into the bottom when packed away.  looks way to big/tall to be practical when space is everything.

Here are the dimensions http://www.hoffproducts.com/dimensions.html

At 407 mm it's almost to small to cook on easily, I'm not sure I would want it on a table.

Looks good.  I'd get rid of the rubber valve and definitely the lead wheel weight

Got one 12 months ago, not a bad bit of gear.
Just had to fit perforated metal in the base, to hold coals a little longer.
pretty handy for a couple of people, and reasonably compact and easy to pack and store.
Just gotta watch the handle on the kettle if you've had a couple lol

Hah.  Its tiny. Actually looks alright at that size.  I was thinking it was quite tall and would take up a bit of space, making it difficult to pack.

No mention of weight as far as I can see. How heavy is it Flighty?

Probably about 8 kg 10 at the outside.
But I carry a leather glove, matches and some heat beads inside it.
