Has anyone any experience of these? They sound ideal for cooking bread, etc.,
Im wondering how they'd do over a small stove :dunno: http://www.gaelforcemarine.co.uk/ProductDetailsPage.aspx?produc t_id=21055

Hi Toddy,

Looking at the design I see no reason as to why it shouldn't work over a small stove, with a windshield.

My only concern would be fuel consumption tho - I presume small stove equates to limited resources?

Thanks Simon :)
I was actually looking at them from two viewpoints. Cooking inside a small tepee and for a friend who lives in a van as she travels the country visiting, working, etc.,
I just wondered if anyone had actually used one and then got to thinking about the design, it can't be beyond mortal wit to construct, but it might make an excellent cooking pot / bannock baker. The heat seems to be central, like a kelly kettle.

cheers,
Toddy

Use a trangia burner with simmer cap half way open and the pot stand that looks like a cup upside down

Toddy, the are quite small and remember whatever you bake will come out like a big ring doughnut. How about a fold flat Coleman oven, they really do fold flat

Hmmm, very nice, inside the geodesic dome maybe, but I was hoping for small, safe and easily stored, that's why the boat stuff.
The doughnut's not really a problem, it's only to feed one or two of us. The little girdle is fine for scones, oatcakes and bannocks but it's not so handy for cooking under cover. I wondered whether the pot would do better.

Incidentally, I've been clearing the loft and I've come across a box with an old brass primus in it, about 8" high and the same across, and a little tin with another miniature version in it tucked into the same box...probably best in a new thread.

Fold the Coleman oven flat and it won't take up anymore space than the doughnut oven, plus your new found Primus would work great with it:) PM me if you need help with the Primus stoves
