I looked at at those but only burns wood etc. can't use gas or fuel burner, and the postage from the US to the UK along with the customs charge makes it a no go.

I made a wood gas stove from two cans. Tutorials are readily available; this was the one I used the most for the basic design: http://www.instructables.com/id/Woodgas-Can-Stove/. Took me an evening, but I paid very little attention to neatness...
The benefit of making it myself was i) I could determine the size and thus the potential burn time of one load of fuel, and ii) I could customise it to perfectly fit my trangia on top in case of unavailability or restrictions on fuel.

I use the Sterno folding stove for my Trangia. I suppose it could also be used with wood.
It's super strong and folds flat. Not sure you can get it in the UK. Here's a link to give you a few ideas. You could make your own. bman screwed with this post 12-27-2012 at 09:27 PM |

Stever stove. ADV inmate makes em and they work great. Lightest and best stove I've ever used. Wouldn't think of having my MSR stove with me now. The stever beats it hands down.

I agree. I made a couple of those and use them often, even on lunch break at work. (for the price vs the whole day it took to make them, buy one from that link). Mine is a nice setup due to it being a complete kit. Using a large metal camp mug, the one available in the camping section of most stores for $5 and a plastic lid from Progresso bread crumbs (free). The stove fits inside the mug along with a ziplok bag with coffee in it and a couple of paks of instant oatmeal. It's all kept clean and secure with the plastic lid snapped on the mug. It can be attached to the bike easily by running a strap or bungie through the handle, taking up zero storage space. Another addition that also fits inside is a beer can with the top and bottom cut off and split. It's cut to length so that it fits in the mug. This is used as a wind block because the alchy stove doesn't like moving air.
