    Here is one I found 2 days ago at the tip shop.
    I am yet to dig out a stove that suits size wise but popped it on a Radius for scale.

    I can tell you it’s about sixty plus years old. Don’t ask me how I know.

    Hi @Sedgman

    Is it made to suit a particular stove?
    Not visible in these photos Are folded tabs on the bottom that look like they possibly clip or slide into something specific?

    Without asking I figure you may be experienced with this item :whistle:

    I find these pyramid style are much more efficient.

    Nope, but I am going to give it a try. No worries at all re the ‘Aussie’ toaster. Brought back good memories for me.

    @Stanisław Grajewski
    Thanks, it was good to see it in use. I am now keen to give it a go too.

    I recollect that at times they were too efficient as I recall scraping the toast a number of times.

    @Pharael
    Great to see who made them. Thanks for posting.

    @Sedgman you are correct, toast can turn into carbon really fast if you have burner roaring and look away for a second!

    But, in my experience, those flat one with wires, you have to have burner roaring and they still make dry bread more than toast.

    I have always had success with the Coghlan’s Camp Stove Toaster.

    The instructions are to have the centre of the toaster hot before adding the bread for toasting. I can see that adding the bread before this occurs will likely dry the bread before it is ready to brown. So I leave the toaster to heat up for a couple of minutes before adding the bread.

    One further point I would mention is that I only ever use a silent burner stove with the Toaster.

    I just ordered a stainless steel generic Coghlan’s Camp Stove Toaster from Amazon for $10. When it arrives I'll give it a try and report back.
