    Hi all,
    I have just bought the cross-members from SiegeStoves for use with IKEA's cutlery holder. They are made of stainless steel, a pair for the top and a pair for the bottom. They fit the IKEA cutlery holder perfectly but can adapt to any kind of can, such as a large coffee can or a paint can. One pair has a set of wickedly sharp points, which can be used to stand the stove up on rough ground or can be used to punch holes in an unprepared can to make a stove out of it. They are also available in titanium. The stainless steel set cost USD 22, while the titanium set are slightly more. They are not always in stock so there may be a shipping delay, but mine took less than a week, door to door. They have a footprint of seven inches and are quite stable. Also included is a small P38 can opener. Not a fan of these, myself, but it's small and light and easy to carry.

    regards
    Stovepipe
