Cornishbloke Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ferocious piece of kit by the look of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43rdrecce Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Not a period photo, but an ancient photo of 43rd Recce Group using said burner. Note the catering axe on standby for use on the cabbage mechanic if the scoff doesn't turn out as planned.... Also note the ration assassin is in the prone position, wisely adopted when using this method of cooking. The fez is Regimental Mess Dress.

ploughman Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 We went over to Cyprus for an excercise (Holiday) in 1981 When we went up to Akamas training area we were camped out on the beach, the Cooks ( Well thats what they called themselves)set up a field kitchen using some of these burners. One of them eventually thought about refuelling it, only trouble was he forgot to turn it off and release the pressure. The result was one cook casevaced by chopper to Akrotiri Hospital with 75% burns. He returned to us back at Perham Down near Tidworth about a year later on release from Hospital. The Master Chef immediately made him the field cooking instructor. He knew the hazards. One other tip when using these burners Do not use them buried in a roadside heap of gravel chippings.

Muttonlancer Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hello, I thought you may like to see this photograph as it is of a no. 1 burner being used on Lionheart for anyone serving in the 1984 Exercise in Germany, we normally had an oven on the end of the trench which worked extremely well, the chimney is from the petrol water heaters that were far more dangerous than the burner.

Danny152 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hiya, Does anyone have a spare three-holed stand that the pots sit on knocking around? That is all I need for my setup? Cheers, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangie Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've been looking for one myself for about three years now! Once common, now rocking horse poo. Alec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duson Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have not seen these stands in close. Could anybody who has one post some pictures of it here. Some dimensions would also be great. We use this cooker for our events and it works well. Would be easier to use these stands though. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
