Hi I'm Steve & this is my channel. Im based in 'sunny' Greater Manchester with my wife & son. I work in the firearms industry & have a health & safety company of my own. So what can you expect? Well, reviews of all things outdoors, from camping to Stalking with several shooting videos thrown in from shooting venue reviews to different equipment on sale. Also some close up GoPro action shots... I hope! So stay tuned & enjoy the journey, all the best, Steve.
Nice little cook set and lite bungie cord will hold it together and you can make a bag from an old pair of blue Jean legs I did with mine also made a set of cross pot sets for pots or pans to keep them above the flame slightly to allow better air flow and added 2 round tent pegs to support a trangiea stove and drilled three holes in the bottom for small machine screws with wing nuts and lock washers with steel electrical conduit holders for fold out feet to make a wider base for less chance of it tipping over I works and burns very well
That entire set is really good and has everything you need. Just get the rods to lift the pot from the burner and you are set. Here is a suggestion. Get some more of that stainless steel wire about 3-4mm thick. Make a clamp to go around the bottom of your pot to clamp the top lid down. The next wire should be shaped to a curve of the side of the pot and reach down and insert into the holes. This setup can hold your pot sideways on top and be like an oven.
Cut the handle off that ring. Drill 2 holes on either side and make a removable chain hanger - now any pot you want that fits that ring can hang over a fire
Get a couple tent stakes that you can insert in the holes at whatever level you want. Get the Stanley Adventure Cup Cook Set and a Nalgene (tapered) "Backpacker" stainless water bottle. Ditch the kid's cook set except the large pot and the lid. Keep or ditch the two green cups in the Stanley kit as you see fit. You can carry the water bottle seperate or nest it in the Stanley Cook Set if you modify the pot handles to easily remove and then reattach (OR get a "Stanley" pot by w/ nesting cup by Power Paracord that has an additional 25 oz cup and the proper butterfly handles... Nest the Nalgene water bottle in the 25 oz cup. Nest that in the 31 oz cup. That should fit in the larger Ikea pot you found (ditch the hanger) and add a bail of some kind. Toss the strainer in the Ikea stove you made and then nest everything inside the stove. Find a waterproof bag and fit everything in it. You can toss in one or two of those foldable silicon cups to go along with it and a couple of stainless or titanium sporks. And include the child's lid that fits your large pot. You just need your alcohol stove and some fuel. I would make a Fancy Feast alcohol stove. I'd probably put some feet on the Ikea stove that rotate out and make them out of those half clamps, and I would probably make some kind of raised cross bars for the stove.
Re:The left out handle, I'd angle grind the top part off where it bends and drill a hole through, you can hang some paracord off a branch to hang it by making a loop, feed it through the hole and a small branch/twig fed into the loop will prevent the loop being pulled out whilst hung over the fire, I'd then grind the end of the handle into a can opener/bottle cap lifter, always handy and always to hand.
Also use the fry pan for a one egg wonder and little wok for a searia cup for drinking and use some small bundgy cords to hold it together in a small draw string bag for transportation along with 2 round steel tent pegs to raise above flame for better heating.
Nice set up but I would add some feet to the stove something that folds out so that you can burn wood also in it along with maybe a door on the opening to cut down the Draft from the feed opening that you can open and close. It would make it almost perfect.
That cook-set is not for cooking it's very toxic, Ikea didn't let me buy it since it's not stainless steel, it's stainless still plated on iron. Hobo stove is ok but the rest you can play with.
You should have kept the original because you can't get those anymore, and instead buy the new ST300. All that needed was to get rid of the rust on it!! You just lost a legendary tool that was worth money and you got a common tool that you could've just bought yourself, good job!!
If you get a bit adapter, it will fit the phillips bit of the ST300 because it fit's the square hole, you'll be able to use ratchet and drill bits, not to mention any size bits as well. I got a 47 piece set for my ST300 and it's awesome, it literally does it all!!!
Very nice! You can use the small strainer for steam cooking or put some charcoal. The charcoal heating can be adjusted by controling the ventilation. It's a great way to cook. No smell, no smoke, you can use it in a tent, and you can make charcoal every time you make fire, or buy it for cheap...
I would leave the perforated outer strainer as is. Drill or punch some holes in the hanger pot and use it as your wood combustion chamber if you like to burn wood. If you are using the ethanol burner (or the survival candle or the like) , use some made to measure stainless steel tent pegs and the bottom strainer (from the hanger pot) stuck into the hanger pot to prop the burner up if need be. You could use the little cooking pot with lid as is, use the wok pan as is and modify the frying pan (by cutting the handle of) and use it as possibly as a lid for the wok, as a plate to eat from or use as a food prep bowl. A second set of made to measure pegs could sit just below the collar bit of the hanger pot to act as the pot stand for the lidded cooking pot, the wok pan could just sit on top of the hanger pot's rim... Probably when the stove is in use it can still be moved about because the perforated stainer pot is most likely cool enough to touch and hold. If you position the holes in the hanger pot in such a way that they are hidden behind the non perforated sections of the strainer pot it can even act as a regulating air flow for wood burning.
good! interesting. Ikea should reward creative people that look for new uses for their products (there are so many craftsmen working around the "Ikea hobo stove"...)
Don't cover the holes at the bottom of the drum, it helps to draw the air through and you will get better combustion, just sit the drum in some kind of steel tray and you wont get any ash on your patio.
The cutoff legs of old trousers make make usable sacks for no cost. Cut the leg off to your desired length, sew the bottom shut, run a drawstring through the top, and you have a serviceable carry bag.
One can use the frying pan and the mini wok over open fire too if you keep handles, just make addons in wood or metal wire. If one takes wire mesh put inside resting on say tent pegs one gets an elevated support for pot to get a bit of distance so the flames lick the bottom of the pot. Take away pegs and wire mesh can be lowered into burner.
danthedewman1 take thin metal plate cover holes inside? Cut slit by cutting along row of holes put handle ie nut and bolt on tha inside plate on which you have made some coresponding holes with the ones on cutlery stand, open close holes with handle. placed on one side one can lessen opening cut in side.
Super combinaison.. Il n'y a plus qu'à l essayer.. Pourrais tu nous donner les références de la casserole, de la poêle et de la petite marmite. En te remerciant. Cordialement.
