LP carrier cooker
If you have an LP2 or LP2A carrier, the cooking unit stowage box will not fit a No 2 cooker, as used in the Universal carriers.
The paraffin cooker in the pic below is dated 1944 with broad arrow on the upright bar above the label. I found it locally, in NZ and it fits neatly in the tall round tin with a smaller spares tin. A snug fit in the LP style cooker box for length, with some room beside it. For info I reproduce a pic I saved from MLU of a No2 Cooker with large dixie and lid on its stowage bracket. (Sorry I didn't save the pic owners name). Rob

the no.2 petrol cooker was still in use with the army in the eighties so there are still plenty around.

Cooker
Guys, This is the correct cooker for a carrier, like rick said a No2 but be careful the correct one has the petrol bottle which removes and hooks on the front, most you see are later types which have a draw that slides out the front containing the bottle, I also think the later no2 won't fit In the stowage tray as they are slightly bigger.
Kevin.

cooker for MkI
The MkII cooker does NOT fit the tray from the Mk I carrier. The original MkI cooker, as Kevin says, did not have the pull out drawer at the front with the petrol tank. The tank was loose in the box and was taken out and fitted before use. The basic Mk II box would fit the tray if it were not for two studs on the side and the drawer at the front which slightly increases its length – see the attached photos, which show a couple of Mk II cookers and an original tray TL13251. The second and third photos show the cooker (not) fitting in the tray. Presumably the MK 1 cooker box does not have the studs on the side, but I have never seen one – been looking for one for ages.

Has anyone solved this delima yet? I have the same problem with my Sexton. The operators manual says No. 2 stove. I have both Mk1 and Mk2 models of the No.2 stove. Neither fit. Jesse
