'Ikea' Cook set 

Good job! Exactly the information I was looking for! I'm getting this set up! Chucking in some tent pegs slap a door on it and take the handles off thanks for sharing, subbed x

One of the best cook kits for 1/3 the price. Keep em comming!

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.

great little idea, looking forward to seeing them being used. cheers

Absolutely love it. I'd leave handles on. Great set.

Beautiful job! I think my daughter has some of the children's cookware and she's outgrown it, so it's going to get a 2nd use!

Awesome video. I made one like it. The smallest of the stuff sacks from the Walmart $5 three sack set fits perfectly if you have access to a Walmart.

Steve, nice video, I use the cuttlery strainer as a hobo cooker and it fits nicely into a round clothes peg bag from home and bargain only costs a few quid, take care.

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...

Brilliant cookset that’s still valid today! Will check and see if I can find all that

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

Cool idea mate... I will definitely buy those in Ikea next time I go here in Miami.

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.

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.

a leg off an old pair of jeans can e used to create a bag

A great kit. Velcro strap will work great

Great job on the video mate 👍👍👍

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"...)

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. Compact, durable, cheap... made for Yorkshiremen!

A bit late and a dollar short - hello from America. You probably don't care now or heard this already but - have you got wire clothes hangers you can cut and bend thru the top holes? Then take then out and put them inside the pot when packing. The skillet handles can be cut-off and looped to hook the cut-off handles which can be looped to fit the other. Cheers.

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.

Great ideas!!!!!

Doesn't the Ikea website say that the kids kit is not recommended for cooking?

For a bag, take a lawn chair bag, cut the bottom off to fit your cooks set and sew the bottom up

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.

In wet terrain you could use/mod the hanger to hang the whole stove from a frame or wire , even bent outwards from a small tree trunk, strapped on.. so it stayed out of the water. Failing that cut it open and you could modify to a pot holder. The strainer plate... fasten a few bolts through it, raise it up higher and you have a an improved airflow to your woodfire, or you could elevate the burn point high enough to use hexy/soliod fuels. As for strap... use a cordage plait/weave, two birds with one stove... meant stone.

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.

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.

short bungee cord to hold the pots together

I don't know why you've stopped making videos because you do them well. This is a marvelous cook set you've put together, and I really wish I had one like it. We have nothing like Ikea where I live in the states, and that's a shame. If we did, I'd love to have a similar set. It's much better than what I have, and at least has given me ideas on how to improve my own bushcraft cook set.

Bargain Steve, thanks for sharing mate. Will have to look into them. Cheers buddy, ATB Shaun

Take the handles off and drill 2 holes at the top of the pan, 180 degrees from each other. Then buy a fish jaw spreader and you will have a perfect bail.

ikea has the metal pins for adjusting hight as well (6 pack)

Nearly 2 years too late lol I guess you've solved the bag issue but i'd go with a dry sack, they come in different sizes, used the while out canoeing, not too expensive and quite tough - is there a follow up video to show us what you eventually sorted out with this great little cook set?

Nice little set up there, all for under £20 as well, good bargain buys that will last. Let us know how you get on with set. Atb Alan

it's really nice

Don't forget the 2 metal tent pegs, and don't put the pot directly on the burner, you will snuff it out, you need a very shallow tray to put the burner in to prime it, and a gap of about 1" from the jet holes to the base of the pan or pot, this is the ideal distance for heat, so put your tent pegs 1" above the burner through the holes in the hobo. enjoy atb Ray

Great little kit! For a strap, just use a small rubber bungie cord to hook into the lower holes on the sides of the stove, threaded through all the handles. Would keep it tight.

Wow. Wish I'd though of all that when I was putting my own Ikea 'hobo' stove together.

small size bunjjicord works well as strap from 1$ set of 4..

brilliant

Very good thank you very much

Here's a great bag idea for this cook set: Acid Tactical Mollie First Aid Bag Pouch Trama Medic Utility, along with a CondorM40 water bottle pouch, a 40 oz. stainless steel water bottle and nesting cup, everything interlocks together with mollie straps and the water bottle bag and mollie first aid bag both have mollie webbing for any addition pouches, comes with strap.All item can be found on Ebay in the USA, ATB, Paul

hello from u.s. can you kindly tell me the exact names and numbers of the ikea products that you used? thanks!

+Jeffrey Tunis hi for some reason I could reply to your message so hope this works. All the links to the items are listed above in my description of the video. Hope that helps, all the best, Steve

Also leave handles on all of them that way they won't weaken from the heat.

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

First thoughts are Bugger ! i do not have an IKEA near me. The strap i can make in less time then it takes to watch your video ( ladder lock buckle and 25 mm webbing ) Are you looking for a bag draw string style closure for it ?

strap...Canadian jam knot..works well on mine

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.

Now it would be kind of meta if you took the ikea shopping bags and made your own little pack for it all...

i like the idea of these stoves. But, I think they burn to fast, to many air holes.Any thoughts?

a small bucket will fit it just right and it has cover 2

That's a great idea mate I don't think you should cut the handles off it all looks like it's made to go together atb Graham

turn the strainer from the kids set upside down over a trangia it will be a potstand

That's a lot of stainless steal for under 20 pounds mate

Put your kit in a little stuff sack. Nice little kit.

Try a Crown Royal bag

Small bungee cord will hold the set together

On any bric-a-brac market, a trangia kit would cost no more than a fiver !!

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.

remove the handles. ..drill a hole either side and bend a wire coat hangar as a handle

The only problem is that the alcohol stove defies the point of the hobo stove, and there's no way to have a stand

Trangia 25 cookset strap.

Let us know how the kids cooking set holds up in the heat? Ikea wouldn't tell much!

I use a wax buddy burner in my ikea stove instead of a spirit burner...it lasts forever

Use a stuff sack for a bag.

cut the handles

674 gm is way to heavy........

cloth shoe bag ...

Too bulky
