i've been looking around and see one or two on ebay for like $30 + shipping. I thought these were around $10 each?  anyone know where to pick one up ? any other ideas? I already have esbit stove but want to be able to use wood.
thanks

I bought a bunch back when they were like $4 each.  I like the cups and the fact that they nest so well.

You can create something similar, you just need to buy a metal cup then find cans of the right diameter.  Chances are yours will be more stable.  google hobo stoves for ideas.  You can use wood with the esbit as well.

I ordered mine from CTD like 6 years ago. It was like 12 bucks. I still have it. Used it a few times and it worked great for boiling water.

Back around 2001 these were everywhere for $3.

Once surplus stuff dries up the price goes up, its as simple as that.

I figure you are looking at $25 or so shipped for the stove you seek. I use a Trangia burner in my stove. Get shed of the cork on the bottle unless you want everything to taste like cork.

Sportsmen's Guide had the unissued (paper wrapped) Swedish mess kits with the Trangia burner for $29.00 for ten of them. Heck they even threw in a few extra burners in the box. That was eight years ago or so. They go for about $70.00 a pop now. I'm still sitting on a couple unwrapped ones.

BTW....The volcano stoves are a bit unstable. I just poke three titanium shelter pegs in the ground around the base. A few rocks would work too.

Local surplus store had some about a month ago.  ArmySurplusWarehouse.com

Whoo!

$29.99 plus $11.00 for shipping.

Add a Swedish Mess Kit and your shipping is only $16.50 but if you just get a Swedish Mess Kit (lesser alum version) by itself the shipping is the same.  

Here is another source but the shipping is only four dollars less.
