Hello all; I am fairly new to this forum but not to the hobby. I recently acquired a Gaz Rando 360 stove in good condition. It is missing the small alloy pot lifter and was wondering if there are replacemtments available or if there is a suitable substitute available. Thanks!...
Generic aluminium pot lifters are available from various manufacturers. Campingaz sell a pan set that contains one: http://www.campingaz.com/trade/p-22830-trekking-kit-5-pieces-aluminium.aspx
Hi, I would try for a Trangia item or a similar item from a local camping shop in the first instance. The ebay shop 'Contact left' in the UK lists them on their ebay site, you have to navigate through their menu to cooking equipment, it's listed as 'New pan grip, bushcraft, camping'. good luck in your search=John. --------------------- If in doubt, brew up.
REI sells a good cheap pot lifter for $4.00. If you need it shorter it's a simple matter to cut it and deburr the cut ends by scraping with your pocket knife. When I was a wee sprog, we called all potlifters of this pattern "Bulldogs". I think it was bedause the first ones we ever saw were Bulldog brand imported from England. Now, of course, they're made pretty much everywhere. I accumulate 'em from garage sales mostly. I got my first one so I could lift my extreme Hi-Tech repurposed empty tin can cook pots off the campfire. They worked much, much better than pliers. The REI $4.00 ones are good quality and cheap. yours will last your great grandkids a lifetime. Gerry
Greg, if you are interested send me a PM. I believe there is a cooking pot lifter of this type sitting in the accumulated camp stuff I have laying around. I too am an owner of a pair of Gaz Rando 360s but sadly both were missing the authentic pot lifter when I received them. The pot lifters I still have are considered spares and are the full size types for normal sized backpacking gear. Send me your mailing addy and I can have one out to you. Chef BC
Thanks for all of the replies! I was hoping to find the correct one as this stove is unlit with the original box. The previious owner had no idea what happened to the pot lifter. It looks like an uphill battle to find the correct one as it looks like it was a "special" made for this stove only....Greg....
