ImageBurner by Britfan, on Flickr

Yes, Ikea for a grand sum of £1.50. The feet use the outer most holes already in the bottom but the bolts have supporting washers each side. A further 3 blots are placed 1 hole up to sit the burner on with additional nuts spaced to the same diameter of the burner base to stop it moving when in position.

To get the burner in and out is quite simple really, just remove one of the support brackets, which is fitted with a short bolt and wingnut. The burner fits in quite easily if you tilt the cooker on its side. The extinguisher lid will fit between to brackets with a pair of long nosed pliers to pop on the flame when finished. Just let it cool, remove the wing nut and take the burner out. I will post a couple of pics to show what I mean.

1. Remove one of the brackets by undoing the wing nut:

2. Tilt the cooker to allow for easy access of the burner. I would probably prime the burner before putting it in the cooker:

3. To extinguish the burner flame, insert the snuff lid between 2 of the brackets with either a multi tool or long nose pliers, it will fit:

4. Drop the snuff lid and allow the burner to cool and repeat No1 to remove the burner and replace the leak proof lid:

hi .I use a trangia all the time love them use it or a folding woodburning gas stove can use the trangia inside it or if run out of meths can just use the folding stove with wood/birch bark, you wont go far wrong with a trangia mate and theres a simple pot stand you can make on youtube which folds down flat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5u-Gmu ... 92HCX_px_P this can ve a wind break added by wrapping strong aluminium foil around wire stand just open up t trangia on the ground your pot sits on the stand and is protected from the wind by the foil [use thick kind made from those trays for putting sandwiches' on good luck and take care stay safe..colin.
