If you wanna cook or boil something, then set-up the trivets on those ditches. These dual trivets would serve like support-stands. Then you can place the cooking pot over this two pot-supports.

The snug fit of the trivets to those ditches would provide a stable platform to the pot. However, in adverse weather conditions – like strongest windy situation – the pot can shake.

• Grill Platform:

It is an interesting but useful accessory for this Bushbox XL combination kit. It offers two great uses. First, you can grill burger, fish or meat.

Another use is that it allows you to use solid fuel tablet or alcohol burner for cooking/boiling instead of natural fuels. All you need to do is to place the grill in the holes that are located in the middle area of this Bushbox stove.

 Flexible:
