Zebra Stainless Steel Billy Can 12 cm

  1 of 104

  An excellent piece of kit, and very good value. This appears to be the product that everybody chooses, and I can see why. Cooked a delicious meal over the fire, and then belt fed wets the next morning. It’s a great bit of kit, and I will be buying one of the woodlore bags as soon as they are back in stock. This will be a permanent fixture in my bushcraft kit. I’ll probably be buying some more aswell.

  Very satisfied with this product. Have tested it in garden using a firebox. Its great for boiling water, soup and sauce based meals. I did not know they do a version with metal clips to hold the lid tight so I got the plastic clips which are pretty pointless. If you do order this Billy can pay the few extra pounds for metal clip version

  I think these billy cans are brilliant. I bought two the 12cm and 14cm because I couldn't make up my mind with regards to the size. When they arrived I was so impressed I placed another order for the 10cm Billy and the 14cm version. Again, These were also very good. I found it hard to resist the 16cm Billy Can, but my other half put a stop to my newly found hobby of Zebra collecting. The quality is extreme good and its a shame to actually use them over a fire. The stainless is polished to a mirror finish quality. I have obviously purchased them for outdoor use over an open fire, small wood stove, or gas and petrol stoves. I have also started to use them in the house and sit one on top of the log burner, makes great Chilli. I'd would have used them on the kitchen hob if it was for it being an induction hob, it doesn't work with stainless. You can remove the plastic clips that hold up the bail and make stainless steel replacements, but in all honesty I have removed the clips and use a pan handle gripper or leather glove to steady it during pouring. It has to be said, I also have another mug and cup and the Zebra is far better quality. If only the 10cm Zebra had handles I know which one I'd go for. Possible improvement could be drilling a few small holes in the lid so the lid can be used as a strainer. This can be done at home, but remember it is stainless and difficult to drill. My order arrived the next day. Can't fault that level of service.

  Fantastic item, more than happy with it, the cheapest I found online, the delivery was slightly slower than I'd hoped for but I'm holding Christmas and Covid responsible for that. Love the Billy Can but I just wish I'd thought about removing the plastic clips beside use because I melted them. That's user error.

  Great size for one person or 2 at a push, the can is great for hanging or cooking over fire or even on the hob. I've used Zebra as a brand for years. Top quality product.

  It's just a great piece of kit. I bought four new ones to add to kit for our Wilderness Therapy training last week. Sturdy, light, decent handle to dangle from a pot hanger, embedded lid handle so it doesn't get in the way, and you can get the lid off easily, with a little hooked stick or tent peg or something. Bung some tinder or kindling in there while it's in your rucksack. Thanks also for quick delivery, and actually the best price I could find for this kit.

  What can you say about the billy can and its insert, a versatile bit kit I bought the 12cm as my main cooking personal cooking pot on a two week wild camp. Besides cooking, I used it to fill my mill bank bag, collecting berries, tinder, making fruit leather and cordage, absolutely brilliant. Why the 4 star review. These should come with metal clips as standard the plastic clips have to be removed while cooking and once your billy has been on a fire its pointless putting them back on, unfortunately they only added to my local landfill.

  A good functional pot but the jury is out on the handle and its plastic clips. Might ditch both and fit a wire handle.
