The Etna was a cheapo that I got as a spare, the body is more flimsy than a bean tin but I could bend the bracket to fit the bellows. The only part left of the other one was the spout, it sort of popped like a champagne cork when I drove over it :D but it directs the smoke nicely and it just about fits. I use a big screwdriver to remove it.
 
It looks quite respectable.
I was expecting something completely dilapidated :D

Cannibalism at its best ... Like it ...

I have two cheapy smokers .. one with a short spout that stays alight forever but showers sparks everywhere .. and one with a long spout that goes out when I turn my back on it.

The only differences is the long spout one has an inner cannister and the short spout just a platform with holes in it and the short spout one has no baffle in the lid ..

Might have to run over one of them ...
