Cheers Dave. Even though we've had rain recently it was very dry still. I used that mug a lot years ago but upgraded to toaks 750ml, so it doesn't get used now. The porridge is what I use to do but with the cost of some meals it makes sense to start doing that again. The stealth stove is a nice design - just need to try it more to be comfortable with it. ATB
