Abstract: A foldable burner has a raised platform formed from aluminum foil portions and onto which fuel can be placed. Tabs are provided for gripping by a user to expand the burner from a collapsed condition to an expanded condition. Tabs may also act as supports to strengthen the burner and make the burner more stable. Apertures enable air to enter the burner under a chimney effect in order to provide oxygen to fuel for burning. The upper periphery of the burner provides support for a cooking vessel such as a saucepan. The burner is easy to transport in its folded condition. Further, it may be designed to offer a second use as transportation box.
