Hex cooker

Post by Mr.S »

Just got one from Millets with 12 lots of fuel. Apparently the military is moving over to something else so I thought I'd get some before its completely out of fashion as a back up to a camp fire or ghillie kettle. Totalled at £8. More than its worth but they have suddenly become hard to get in my area.

Their good little cookers, if you use the fuel in a more enclosed cooker you can cook two ration packs with just one hexi block, much better than wasting a load if your paying that much :lol:
First in, last out.

I've had three mains and 3 desserts cook off one before. Involved lots of balancing and getting fingers burnt but it worked!

You also know when it's about to run out which can be hard to judge from gas cookers!

I have a few of these. They are great for emergencies. I prefer my jetboil for every day use, which is understandable.
