I do use it camping and the lid helps heat the coffee faster and because of the vent holes I know when it is steaming hot. I've used it to boil eggs and it makes the canteen cup a working cook pot. I really like this addition to make a full working canteen cook kit which is always available in my to go bag.(Just add water and start cooking).
US 11 SLH surplus canteen.lid was tight I guess you wold say at the center of the kidney shape. All it took was one light tap with a hammer and the lid then dropped down just fine. Not all lids work with all canteens . Do your research. I could probably take some time to make it fit perfectly but it’s in working order after just one hammer tap. Not bad!
