    Greetings all,

    I've been looking for a way to store my stores so they will be protected from dust / dirt and in a manner where I can easily stack them / arrange them.

    I happened to be looking online at plastic buckets and found one at my local Lowe's home improvement store. A quick trip to the store confirmed they'd be a perfect size for a "standard" size stove. So I bought a few.

    It's a 2 gallon bucket and fits this Svea no. 5 perfectly:

    There is a little but of room around the sides of the trivet and the top of the trivet where some padding material could be added while still allowing the lid to attach properly.

    Here's a shot of the bucket UPC and other information:

    They sell lids for them as well. The lids have a nice foam rubber gasket.

    Sorry this doesn't help folks outside the USA...or folks in parts of the USA that don't have a Lowe's. Home Depot seems to have a similar 2 gallon bucket made by a different manufacturer that might work as well.

    Perhaps "home improvement" type stores outside the USA sell a similar-sized 7.5 or 8 liter bucket?

    Thanks much,
    ben
