    Hi,

    My search for an aluminium box (what I believe coleman calls the cook kit) for my Coleman stove has lead me to this web site. Coleman no longer makes the aluminum box - and so I'm wondering if anyone knows how I might aquire one.

    Many Thanks,

    Linda

    Coleman made at least two sizes of the cube shaped "boxes." there are uncountable hundreds of thousands of 'em in circulation. Flea markkets, garage sales, ebay and craigslist are but a few places to look. Thrift stores and second hand outlets are good as well.

    I once saw one in a thrift store and passed on it. I really hate when my brain locks up on me. Someday I'll find another.

    Someone posted a website that sells military surplus. I beleive that you could get a Marine one for under $20.

    The "Marine" one is a Peak One cook kit with a civiilian US Marine Corps commemorative fuel bottle. Still and all it's a decent value at $20.00.

    I have to thank you all for the great suggestions! I think I'm going to try the surplus stores and see what I come up with.

    It sounds like you all know your stoves!

    Thanks again,

    Linda

    This seems to be a fair enough deal for the Fuel Bottle and Cook Set, but be aware this Fuel Bottle is designed for use with COLEMAN APEX (nos. 1 and 2) Stoves. The gasket and top are differently configured than those designed for MSR stoves (utilized a recessed gasket) - consequently, it may not be able to be used with them.

    Thanks so much for all your help. That fuel bottle will work for me - because I do have an Apex stove.

    Really appreciate everyone's great advice.

    Happy Camping!
