    Oh yes you will see it on my kit, the great thing is that it has a hook that you can use to hang it over a fire

    Great price, great deal

    And don't forget the bacon grill burgers, with its own fat. The amount of fruit cocktail tins that I heated up too.....

    As I said I'm going to buy this

    http://www.militarymart.co.uk//Alumi.../prod_393.html

    But they have a stainless version(all used, no unused), should I get that, is it better? and do you get meths for free with it or just the bottle?

    You just get the bottle bb. The steel is easier to clean but takes a little longer to cook in, where as the aluminum is lighter but it can warp a little if you use it on the fire a lot. Not that it's a real problem it just means the lid can look a little dented in.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    Which one is stronger? And which one will last longer?

    Which one do you think I should buy?

    I've just got a steel one and althought it's heavier it's a lot easier to clean. I was thinking of doing a review of steel vs ally soon. I must admit i've grown quite fond of steel now, mainly because it's easier to clean.

    So it's stronger and easy to clean, so I might get the stainless version, but there are no unused kits left, but they do have new aluminium versions left. So I think I'll get the aluminium one, I hope it is strong.

    I got the alu version, used it to death and it's (almost) like new.
