In this video I show a simple modification to the Stanley Camp Cook Set that gives significantly more versatility to it for when you are out and about in the outdoors.

Several moths ago I did a review of the Stanley Cook Set for camping. This is a great little stainless steel camp cook kit and you can see my review of it here: (youtu.be/FpBlh7kYwVk). In that video I also did a burn test using the $1 alcohol stove I made for my old cookset in this video: (youtu.be/wGdJPZXU-Ts) If you saw my review video, you know that the burn test pretty much failed.
I was a bit upset because I really like the alcohol stove I have, so I came up with a simple solution to share with y'all using two alligator clips and a bit of ball chain necklace.
This simple mod also helps the pot out in two other ways:
1) It will allow you to suspend it over a fire
2) When full, this cookpot can be top-heavy, especially on uneven ground. Suspending it alleviates this problem.
You can modify your cookset in this manner in just a few simple steps:
1) Crimp a section of silver ball necklace (check for strength/quality first) onto two steel alligator clips. Eight inches or so should be plenty. Also, make sure your clips have a larger opening towards the pivot point so it grips the lip of the cook set.
2) Clip it to the cook pot.
3) If you want to, use a grinder, dremel, or metal file to file the edge of the lid so that it fits snugly on the pot while the clips are attached. Be sure to sand off any metal burrs so they don't end up in your food.
That's it! Simple, super lightweight, and cheap.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you have any other mods to this cook set you would like to pass along.
