right then guys
am after a billy can but am unsure which to buy:confused:
stainless would be great and would love to beable to use lid to cook with aswell :campfire:
i know ray mears uses zebra cans but i was looking on the net at them and the lid dosent look like it has any other use than a lid :camping:
and they seem a bit heavy
they are robust though i agree
then theres ones with the lid that turns to a pan
anyway do any of you peeps have any recomdations for me before i make my mind up pics in use would be fantastic
many thanks from walker:thankyou:

the Zebra billy has a pan that sits inside the billy that the lid also fits hope this helps you.

I really like my Zebra billy. its in my Hobo stove set up. Good mod is to remove bulky bail handle and replace with Bicycle brake cable one. Packs much better and saves weight. The extra bowl is usefull too.
