Stove carrying.

[mark1150]

Going through the gear today I'd forgotten about my newly acquired stove and fuel bottle, more importantly what I'm going to use in the long term to carry them about, so I'll ask the question what do you guys use to keep them safe and sound and stop the delicate bits from damage?

The stove is approx 5 1/4inches x 4inches old money, or 13.5cm X 10cm, the fuel bottle is standard 1/2 litre size.

Are you using a saucepan with rigid handle

I keep my cooker in a billy can packed with everything I need and the spare room filled with J cloths

Hi snaphappy
I can answer that one. Mark had a screwdriver so the handle was removable.

The model is a Peak Apex
The flame adjuster, and the jet thingamy dhoodah that sits over the top of the main ring look quite fragile, or am I paranoid as I haven't owned one of these type stoves before?

You're paranoid. Don't worry about it.

What gas does that bad boy use? I have the 'ordinary' Trangia and have been considering either the gas burner or the multi fuel head for it. The multi fuel as I can use a female line connector on me return pipe and fill the bottle if need be, from the petrol tank.(probably)

the screw on isopropane cans, not american 'gas'
i think its a rebranded optimus or primus burner, its big for the size of the pans (i have the smaller '27, not the '25) and goes like a bleedin rocket. you would think it guzzles fuel but i think thats the reason its so economical, its so fast you just dont have it on long using much gas. a 250g size can has lasted me a week, for the BOIL long weekend im going to try the tiny 150g size.


and mark, that stove looks like it would fit in the pan anyway would it? pad it with some kitchen roll, rubber band round the lid, job done. empty the fuel back in the bike and store the empty bottle anywhere.
