A 10cm zebra sits nicely inside the little one ;)
Yeah, just trying to find someone who sells them. I've got a 14 and was thinking of using the little one as a hobo. Doesn't fit inside with the little dish thing though.

...and a 12 fits the large one!

Yes, I've been using those.
The smallest one is of very limited use. I have one for boiling up water if out for a walk on my own. That's about the limit of its use.
The bigger one is a good size. I've made a hobo out of one and a billy.
Tell you a really good one - Dunelm Mill. It's a furnishings place. They do a stainless steel 'desktop bin'. It's £5.99 and makes a good 12/14cm billy substitute. Right depth on it as well.
How much food can you cook in one?
Ive tried two Morrisons now trying to get these plus the cutlery drainer (mentioned in one of the Hobo threads) and neither had them. However, we actually have a Dunelm's in town so may well pop in and have another look (didnt spot the desk top jobbie the other day when I was looking to see if they did drainers).
ATB, Jon.
You'll find the desktop bin with all the utensils and stuff.
It looks like a mini-swing bin. The top just pops off.

How much food can you cook in one?
I made one last year, did a few tests and they are great for boiling water if you have enough tinder and stuff to burn. I am still doing tests trying to find the most reliable stove to take away with me on trips, so far my trangia seems the best but alas it is so heavy.
The small one is the one I made my hobo stove (http://www.ravenlore.co.uk/html/hobo_stove.html) from and has said it's only really big enough for one portion of food, whatever that is.
It's great for my needs though.
I too will soon be in Hobo stove heaven as ive just managed to buy a stainless drainer from Homobase - Woohooo!
Its just under 14cm wide, holes all over the place in different sizes and it cost £4.99. Ive just cut a mouth in the front and also chopped down some skewers for suppports. Now all I need is a pot for cooking in so off to Tesco tomorrow for a poke about.
