Butane stove case

[travelman]

Hi Everyone
We often use one of the little $15.00 (or so) stoves that take the butane cylinders when we travel. They put out a huge amount of heat and the cylinders are fairly economical at just over $1.00 each.
The problem we've found, however, is the poor quality plastic cases they usually come in. I've broken quite a few over the years by dropping them, or accidentally packing something hard or sharp up against the case. On the last trip I ended up storing the stove in one of those $1.00 supermarket bags.
I know if I got to work I could probably build myself a carry case out of ply that would withstand the knocks, but I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a case with a bit of strength to store the stove in?
Cheers

I use the u-bute butane stove and it comes with a hard plastic carry case which is perfect for travelling and storing

Does it have to be a solid case? How about a canvas bag with some pieces of ply to hold it's shape?

one of those aluminium tool cases from jaycar and the like for small tools etc with the latch. u see the IT and data guys usually have them for their small tools and so fourth.

PM Sarah in the showroom area who does some great canvas work. I am sure she can come up with an idea

I've been thinking about modifying a jerrycan to store them in, then sticking them in the holder.

I have two jerrycan holders and no use for jerrycans with the camping I do.

Try an electrical repair place that does / sells work tools ... Might find a few Makita / black n decker type plastic cases that you can trim the shaped inners out of.
I use one for my 12V lights and gear .

or accidentally packing something hard or sharp up against the case. OK, LETS TRY PACKING SOME THING THATS NOT SHARP AGAINST THE CASE.

Can't say I've had a drama. I have 2 of those stoves and they must be over 2 years old. Still in there original case. I gets thrown around in my work ute in amounst all my tools.
I suggest you give jeepers solution ago. It should solve you problem

if you take more then one. Ive found they fit perfectly in a milk crate which gives it good protection and makes it a big easier to pack too
