You know what they say about idle hands?....they throw useless flasks at passing traffic! Thanks for the recommendations, Google seems to believe the Trangia is from South Africa, bonus since that's where I (we) get most everything from.....but the site is down...I always suspected the DIY ones may be useless......and the whole concept is a bit useless since dry wood to burn can be found almost anytime anywhere...Cheers

Trangia are a Swedish maker and I'm certainly a fan.
Trangia is from Sweden if I remember correctly.

Question for you, Tony, the top portion in the picture says 1/2 inch or 15mm. 1/2 inch is actually closer to 12.5mm which I assume is the intention, then the 6mm holes are at 18mm which should place them in the vapour region above the lowest part of the inverted top portion, correct?do the holes have to be so big?
HiI can't access YT from work and I finally got around to watching the vids last night........the flask has been sawed in half I feel a bit stupid, finally understand the concept, and mine will be a bit smaller.....More on this later
