Wanted: Hydra / No.1 Burner Cooking Vessel Stands

[Rangie (Alec)]

Hello Folks,

I am looking to buy original 3-hole and 2-hole Pot Stands / Cooking Vessel Stands for my Hydra Burner Setup

I would also consider single "haybox" stands, although these are likely non-existent these days.

Any condition at all, things can be repaired or used as patterns, happy to make you an offer

See attached photos as examples, not all mine, some from the web.

Prefer UK/British-based items in the first instance to avoid logistical nightmares, but happy to consider farther afield!

Thanks, Alec.

Just a quick nudge to the post....

Still Looking for stands!

Here's my main "User" No.1 for the cooker tax

I too have been looking for those stands. Found lots of the Hydra cookers but not one stand so far. I think I’ll just make some out of angle iron for now to display the cooking pots on.

Go for it, that's what I've done.

I have a 2-hole stand thankfully but I'd like to make up a full set (or two actually!).
A Chap Mark Ellis on other forums has managed to measure-up a genuine 3-hole stand and has made drawings available for it (I'll try to find the link), but I'd love original examples of single and 3-hole stands myself for display purposes.

An angle iron frame is fine in the meantime

Have you any photos of your gear? I'm all for No.1 related photos

I do have a collection of cooking units. Including a couple different Hydra cookers and a US Chrysler air temp stove.

I have the cover for this Hydra cooker up in the rafters waiting to be restored. It was very rusty and will need a good sandblasting before restoration. I plan on getting it done before I die but will see. If not then it’s my wife’s problem! There is also a foot pump that I need to find as part of this cooker to pressurize it.

This Hydra cooker is painted Air Force blue but has olive drab paint underneath. It’s enclosed in its own cover accessed by flipping open panels to access certain sections of the cooker.

And the haybox with the food containers and 2 part lids. I have 3 different food container manufacturers. The items to tie in all of these pieces are the stands!

Superb! I think i've seen some of your photos posted here and there

Great to see the Canadian interpretations/improvements as well
