Further to public demand, here's how to make a pot stand and fire bowl -
To start with you need one of these (which I got from Woolworths for £3.99 but it isn't on their webpage):

You remove the central lifting handle by pulling it out.
And the plate from one of these which you used to be able to buy seperately for £0.97 :

Basically you punch a hole in the centre of the plate, push a bolt through it, drop the steamer onto the bolt (it already has a hole in the bottomof the steamer) and tighten a nut onto the bolt thread.
Hey presto, when combined with the three hinge pot stand (3No 5 inch long STRAP hinges, a countersunk bolt and a wing nut) you get something like this:

Because you are using a plate from the cooking set the spare plates, the cooking bowl and the pot stand all fit inside the main pot! Also the steamer can be part opened so that you can rest your dutch 44 patern tin mug on the cooker to warm a brew over a couple of hexi blocks!
Oh, final tip of the day; keep a pencil sharpener in your kit. Why? It's raining and you have no tinder - strip the soggy bark off pencil thick twigs, run the twigs through the pencil sharpener and in a few minutes you have a big pile of tinder!! Now how good is that?! (This idea came from the news letter issued by Trueways Survival Club).
