Crusader, trangia + trivet

[Peaks]

Hi,
You folks may already know this... but I've just discovered that the evernew titanium trivet sold by Backpacking light for meths burners allows a trangia civvie or Tatonka burner to fit into the Crusader cooker and it works a treat.
I guess it would be straightforward to make something yourself from steel or aluminium?
Sorry no pics!

Hey Peaks, thanks for the info. I know that the Crusader is a popular piece of kit so this is bound to be of interest to those who have them.

I am getting awful tired of swearing at my hexamine blocks while trying to light them in then the slightest wind.... maybe i should look into this...

Hi all.

The trangia/tatonka just sits in the Crusader well, don't use the bail though and put your pot on top.

Cheers

Looks quite clever.

Hi,
Have also discovered that by putting three or four 3 inch nails into the well of the Trangia as a pot stand/trivet also works really well with the Crusader set and is a lot cheaper!
Cheers!

Looks like 2x bits of ali or "tit", halfing joint on each and appropriate profiling. IE: hacksaw & vice!
£12.99 (????)

Have you tried scraping the wax off first or breaking one in half ?
