New stove

[Peaks]

Hi,
Bought 3 of these - they arrived today and I'm really impressed.

They aren't for cooking a meal on - but for making a very fast brew (1 mug, 2 at a push) its brill. Boil time is about 3 mins.
Very easy + safe to refuel after 1st burn within a minute or so. Very frugal on meths too.

Made in Wales + good quality workmanship. Amazing price

Whereas I can see it would be good for lightweight hiking for a cuppa it would only be suitable for a day hike as you couldn't cook on it - if you wanted to cook you would need another stove. I am also echo friendly and would worry about disposing of it. If not hiking Kelly kettles use natural fuel, are reusable for many years (Eco friendly) and boil much larger amounts in as little as two minutes.

That's a natty little stove there! nice findT^

Hi,
I totally agree with you Islandlady - a Kelly or similar kettle is more practical for larger amounts and the old trusted Trangia or other stoves are much better for real cooking. Cooking with wood/twigs is great but not always practical in some circumstances.

These are just great when out with the dogs or on a hike for a quick brew. Reckon they are pretty durable, so disposal won't be needed for quite a while and then into the re-cycling as they are made from old drinks cans.

I'll be also keeping one in the car as part of the "getting stuck emergency kit"

These little pop can stoves work really well. I still use the first one I made from a steel beer can last year and it boils a mug of water as fast as a Trangia burner.

Made my first one, after watching a vid by our very own, Mr Savage.
works great:)

I haven't had much luck with homemade pop can stoves in the past - they've been ok, but I preferred a "proper" stove. These just took my eye, and for the price thought it worth a shot. The size was pretty attractive too. I'm really chuffed with them.

And that's all that really matters.

I'm not too sure that the first reponse of the eco friendly is to throw away perfectly good items - you do realise that this is not a disposable , don't you? It's designed as an ultralight stove and should last as long as your Kelly if you look after it. :)

Hello David,
Don't think so - but there is an email address that you might want to use to ask though: stillfishing@hotmail.com

This was on the leaflet with the stove + given as the contact address

One old shoe polish tin......a length of fibreglass rope coiled inside it........weighs very little and costs around 50p, but will boil a cup of water in less than 4 minutes using around half a fluid ounce of meths.

[Peaks]

Agreed - I used one for a while. No pot stand needed with the Trekka.

It all comes down to personal preferences........and I'm a sucker for a bargain :o

After reading this thread this morning, i went into you tube and came across the flat cat stove. Luckily i had an old tuna can in the shed so i made one. It took about ten minutes. I've just given it a test run. One cup of water, straight from the tap, half a fluid ounce of meths and it boiled in around 2 minutes. Very impressive, only downside is you do need a pot stand but the stove is only 12 mm high so not too much of a problem really.

great looking stove! very tempted myself! T^ thanks for sharing bud

This is the main one I use with my Crusader cup and cooker. The only difference is that I have the coiled fire rope covered over with a piece of fine mesh from a strainer. They leave the Crusader Cooker clean and sit perfectly inside.

Best homemade stove has to be the lynx can burner! Maybe I should put some on Ebay!

Nice one :wink:

Hi David,
I found him to be very prompt + efficient in getting the stoves sent off, securely packaged etc.

And for the price I think I'll give one ago, I have made with great success a woodgas stove or 3 that work a treat that is just so portable.
