Billy Cup (Mullet)

[hunter63]

Reading the thread on canteen cup cooking, reminded me of the Billy cup, or "broiler" used for most every thing, has a cover.

I first ones I saw were being used by a couple of guys I met at Rendezvous.
They were Civil War re-enactment guys, so the period was a little later than I try to stick with, mountain man era, but I was impressed.

Thinking on adding one to my gear.
So far found a few, but this seems to be the best deal so far.

Here's a site, need to order by phone though:

A mucket - I like it.

I use a tin boiler when trekking, hiking or camping.
Here's a link to older gear I use since I go 1750s I love this because I use the heck out of it and its fairly cheap.

DW56, thanks for the site, almost forgot about 'ol Chas. Townsend.

He used to come to Prairie du Chien rendezvous, bought a lot of stuff from them over the years.

Have got a ton from them too, several more sites and you can find them cheaper some places. Track of the Wolf is another good site.

Looked on Track of the Wolf, couldn't find one.
They are getting real proud of their wool blankets, though.

Im probaby going to get something like that soon. I like the ones that allow a 32oz water bottle to fit down inside the cup. That would be perfect for me i think.

I picked up a mucket about 10 years ago. I use it for all my outdoor adventures. Very hardy and useful.

Pretty neat. I need to get myself together and get some of the important tools together.

Matt, there are a couple of different ones on the market. GSI makes once called the GSI Glacier. It's 18/8 stainless and fits a 1L bottle. You should be able to find them for $10.00 - $11.00.

I have a couple of muckets that I use for civil war re-enacting and I have one that I keep strapped to my hiking pack. They are great for boiling water in.
