I saw this cooking tripod at Woodfest in St Asaph. I've currently got a mate making me one. I reckon its going to be great for a bit of outdoor cooking and hand warming.

You should have a lot of good use and joy out of it, Bodger.

:roll: i know i'm a terrible worrywort but mushroom is it safe for you to keep(what looks like) an aerosol can right next to the stove?

well, the wd-40 isn't 'kept' there - but fair comment it shouldn't have been there when I was using it. Saying that, though - it discharged almost no heat at the sides. According to the instructions, it should be at least 20cm from the wall, but again, saying that, the side of the shed didn't get warm at all.

We've got one like that too - does yours come with a handy carry box?

I've got one like that in my lottie shed too, carry box an all.  First thing I do when I get to the lottie is put the kettle on.

hah, I thought it was just me who did that - but then again, I cycle to the lottie. After loading and attaching the trailer to the bike, then riding it there, I've worked up quite a sweat. That's my excuse

My carry-box thing broke. No worries though, the lottie is what it's for and where it'll stay.

Actually, it's not so silly after all. Do you see the bit in the picture, where the dial is? Well, that dial is the control/regulator, and behind it, within the unit, is a can full of butane, which supplies fuel to the burner. So, no worries

but not down the lottie (no sheds allowed - so flask and beers for me down there)

I never knew some allotments might not allow sheds!!!! Seems strange really where do you keep your tools?

there are some purpose built units on site (but i don't have a key - 1 per full plot only -  but i have a half plot and let the old guy who gave up his half plot to keep use of the shed as his need is great than mine

i just drive my car to my plot - and keep tools in car - and a few odd bits i keep in an old coal bunker - the big things just get left out

I find that I have to fiddle with mine a lot at first to get the cannister to sit properly without squirting butane out when I take it out of its box.  Bit annoying because sometimes it needs an extra wedge of cardboard and other times it doesn't.

[muntjac]

it has a slot in the reciever valve that fits the cannister you need to make sure this is in the right place soozi or it will leak   and be dangerous

That means you aren't fitting it right. It should just drop in after slot alignment, without any effort whatsoever, and with no spillage or leakage.
Mine has a lever on the front, which must be set to 'unlock' before adding or removing the cannister. Then you line up the slots. On removal, it should just lift out.

You're either not doing it right or you have a defective unit.
