I have gone through various stoves over the years and all have there disadvantages so have reverted back to a Go systems compact camping stove. No more balancing pans, no more requirements for flat ground etc and simmers a treat 👍

I stopped using mess tins once there appeared to be a link between aluminium and all sorts in the brain. The cook in a cup wasn't for me either, can't stand balti tea

That link turned out to be unfounded.
Just to be sure though don't drink from aluminium cans or use aluminium foil

Took the stove completely to bits and cleaned it all up when i got back home last night and it has the 45 jet in already. I didnt realise you can get service kits for them so ordered one of those and will give it a service.

You watch, they'll change their minds again in 10 years
My father used a ali pan for boiling brew water when we grew up, none of this modern fangled kettle stuff. You should have seen how pitted it was by the time he died... .I have absolutely no doubt we ingested the stuff...oh well.

You need a bit of aluminium to bind together the micro plastic you ingest from the teabags. 👍😎

That would be the days before Teflon coatings. Whether that does damage when it starts to flake off I don't know.
I read somewhere that bottle water is bad for you, somewhere else that tap water is bad.
I don't know what to believe.
Red wine is supposed to be good for you. I think it is

you're not wrong!
@ Tinhead, probably, he was born before it was even invented and the pan looked as old as him,but him being old Dutch stock, until it resembled a Collander he'd keep using it
