    Question Zebra hobo stove

    I guess it has probably been done before . Any info or a link to a previous thread on the making of a hobo stove for a 10cm zebra billy ??
    Any help will be greatfully received .

    A quality stove and I`ve used mine loads. One thing I added was to put four 2" screws through the bottom to lift it off the ground. These are retracted after cooling for transport.

    Just a heads up, if you buy the S/S biscuit barrels from Morrisons, they do one that fit's the 12cm Zebra billy. Thats the one i did.

    When I read the title of the thread I thought it was about turning a Z - billy into a hobo stove
    Much relived to find I was wrong....

    My local pound-shop have perfect s/s containers marked 'coffee' 'tea' 'sugar' which I turned into my stove (for 10cm Zebra). If you can't find anything suitable, I can send you one if you like.

    Lol works though!

    And up to now has taken one hell of a battering!

    I also have one made from a catering tin of tomatoes, which I BBQ on every weekend in the summer months!
