Making a damper in a mini Trangia

Has anyone done this? I tried and ended about with the inside of the pot coated with about 3cm of charcoal which took ages to remove...

Put it on a small rack to raise it off the bottom?

A mate made a really nice Herb Damper on a gas stove( Kovea UL from memory) ,he had it wrapped in tin foil and kept the heat low the billy/pot would have been larger than your mini pot and I believe you cannot low simmer very well with the mini Trangia which is what you need for "baking" so I believe you may need to forgo the pleasure of Damper :(

Can be done, I do it regularly.

Make the damper flat, finger thick maybe.

Oil the pot or pan. A friend has been doing it for decades in the pan (lid). I use a pot. No cover.

Use smallest possible heat. Turn over several times until it is just nicely brown.

Yummie!!!!
