    Mini Trangia Stove carrier/windshield

    ok lads... gather round... I have a plan

    I want to use my trangia burner with my crusader cup on shorter trips

    I have found that the cheapy asda chocolate pudding tin would effectively fit the burner inside and provide some level of wind protection. Batter a few holes in it and the air can get in.

    Will post when done....just ate so cant stomache a pudding just yet!

    If you can't manage any more pudding you can post it to me. Make sure it's in a jiffy bag though.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    Maybe increase the air flow with a few holes in the remainder of the bottom? Certainly got the mind going with this one.

    drill holes just inside top and bottom rims at 1/4" spacings. On top holes insert a short length of metal rod or cut down tent peg and voila or put some heavy duty wire mesh across top

    well we got proof of concept today, made my coffee with it



    definetely need some more holes - not the bottom though, the inner rim i left lies on top of the burner to give an extra bit of height for the cup....

    Wire mesh sounds good, you defo need the crusader on the top otherwise it itself will start to interfere with the burning...

    still though....hot coffee!

    I meant drill holes about 1/4" above and below the rims of the can, so in the main body of it not on the base
