The Swedish military mess kit Enmanskök Kokkärl M40 with Svea Trangia alcohol burner - good piece of outdoors equipment you need when cooking over a campfire is the only option.

The Swedish military mess kit Enmanskök Kokkärl M40 consists a windshield, a methanol burner and an alcohol flask.

The brass methanol burner made by Svea uses alcohol or tenol. It can burn up to one half hour which is enough to cook a meal and a cup of coffee/tea. However, though always carried in the field, the burner was seldom used as food was normally cooked in a field kitchen.

The top part of the mess kit set could be used as a small pan or simply as a lid for the lower pot portion of the tin. The handle of the pan/lid has two folding "D" rings that enable it to be lifted with the aid of a stick when it gets too hot to touch or when placed over fire. There is a hook on the bail so that the tin can be suspended over a fire as well. The volume of the pot is 1.5 liter while that of the is 0.75 liter.
