We have made a Useable Folding Personal Cooker - as an authentic early design @1942 stove (angled edges) in stainless steel to withstand being fired up frequently. Two burner circles are included - one sized per the original and another sized to fill the tripod fully for serious heat and stability. The burner circle for the stove was originally shipped in the top of the fuel tin or refil, while the folding legs fitted into the mess tins along with the 24 hour ration packs.
