Quite like the idea of this, even if it is a tad pricey for what it is :)

Pricey, yes but it does look well thought out and isn't the kind of thing that would wear out in twelve months.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I've seen a few similar ideas online which have been hand made and pack down flat.

The principal is certainly a good one  :tu:

Very nice that, but at 2kg it's not a system I'm going backpacking with. :D

It does look good although I'm always slightly wary of the idea of having to rely on a wood burning stove for hot food/drink, and if I'm taking a burner then I'll take the rest of the trangia too.  I can see it being backed up with some hexi bits though, that makes more sense to me.

Surely you could make that honey stove pretty cheaply yourself out of some sheet metal? It's not a complicated set up....but the price is a little outlandish! Gwaaan get all Blue Peter on it Mike  :D

Am I missing the point of the second one?  ??? Without a stack pipe it's useless indoors (by which I mean in a shelter of some kind) and outside it does all the same things as a firepit  ???

I have one of these - Clikstand

Apparently some users have successfully used them with twig fires.

The one gripe I have about the Clikstand is that it is limited to a narrow range of pot sizes. I had to make an adapter to be able to use a smaller diameter pot than the stand could hold. Also if your pot is too large, you won't be able to use the windscreen.

I ended up buying a new .9L pot just because I didn't really have anything suitable to use with it.

This is the stove i used to heat my lunch the last two years i worked. I still use it at the shooting range and on fishing trips. http://www.backpacking.net/makegear/stove2/index.html

I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
