HOBBO STYLE SETUP

[byronlegend]

Great video. I have pretty much the same setup but my hobo stove is made from an old dog food can which holds the meths burner. I need to make the can shorter though so that my billy can is nearer to the flame.

Very nice kit. Good size for multiple people.  Does your windscreen work well in windy weather? I find spirt burners are temperamental in wind.

Do you sell a 10 cm billy?

My hobo stove is about 11.5cm across.

Thanks for the reply.

yes of course, go for it maybe make it a bit higher, to allow more air flow.

all the best

Nice little rig. That's a good set-up for a Trangia stove. Those Swedish cookers are hard to beat.

[survivalist911]

what is the fuel your using again?

[eddbamber]

Most likely methalated spirits.

[survivalist911]

thanks

Very nicely done.

Excellent demonstration of efficently using an alcohol burner stove indendently. I especially liked the looks of the material used to manufacture that particular stove. Looks to be made of Brass. I wonder; would there be a website or snailmail address for a Yank like myself to purchase such a particular Brass Stove?

[wall2rockclimber]

the stove unit was made from an old coffee jar and the main cooker unit is from a trangia stove, so if you can buy trangia stoves then you can buy the parts as the stove is sold seperatly

i just found your channel..thanks for the vids and the 5 star work!!!!

[zerowildfire]

That is soo much like my Swedish Army mess kit. Is that where you got the idear?

[wall2rockclimber]

no this came from trying to make a cooker for my billy can, the actuall idea was from peter gawleta he is known on youtube as 'gawletap'

[0boneyou0]

its a great idea but you wotned always carry meths around.

try using peices of wood or acorns.

Nice set up but the stove to far from pot shoule be 1-1/2 from pot is the sweet spot

[HammocksRule]

Have to say I find that 2 inchs is a good hight for that "Brass" style of burner. Too low and a lot of the heat is up the side and out. A bit lower for the pepsi can style maybe. Nice setup that does not seem too expensive.
