i JUST REMEMBERD- i USED TO BREW UP WITH A CAL;OR GAS CAMPING STOVE
IN TEH BACK OF MY bEDFORD VAN.

Back in my (theological!!!) college days we used a primus in a
biscuit tin,
which also doubled as a heater fro the prewar Morris 8


But Tim did specify that this was a no-no ("Because of the potential
of severe midge attack, this may literally have to be done in the car
with the windows closed (so no gas or other naked flame suggestions
please")


Sorry about thread drift - I wasn't trying to reply to the OP as I've
nothing to input.

I was following up NP's post, only without Caps lock. I don't think his
contribution was entirely serious either.


Actually, it was.

It is perfectly possible to use a small camping gaz stive in a closed
vehicle, provided you do it on a fireproof surface, and have the vehicle
fan running.

The floor of an estate vehicle is as good as it gets.





Merely corroborative detail intended to add verisimilitude to an otherwise
bald and unconvincing narrative.
