A famous German UA-camr (Outdoor) found the original patent wich barocook uses for the heat packs. It’s a Japanese patent and the bags contain 80% Aluminum powder and 20% Calcium oxide both very fine. Add maximum the double amount of water by weight in relation to your dry mixture. I’m European so I can give you an example in grams: mixture of 50 grams contain 10 grams calcium oxide and 40 grams aluminum powder mix it and add 100 grams of water. Reaction starts within 15 seconds and reach high temperature.Costs about 70 cents to heat a meal instead 2 bucks.
That’s awesome information! Thank you
do you need to bag it in a paper bag or just throw the mix in the recipient and add water?
@@FFdo. no paper bag needed
Thanks for demonstrating and explaining that flameless cooker.
I started following your channel a few weeks ago, and as you used the cooker, you didn't discuss its operation until now.
Thanks for that.
I’m glad I could answer your questions! Thanks for watching
It is a cool little thing for sure. One of the most valuable pieces of advice I got on gear was to test it in advance of real-world use. My kids loved this process because it meant dad was going to be "test camping" in the back yard. We test everything from hammocks to "Fancy Feast" hiking stoves. It really is a lot of fun. Nice content thanks!
That sounds like the making of some great memories! Thanks for sharing that!
We bought our first Barocook back in 2014 or 2015, we had a young person who was going camping with the scouts, and the challenge was to have the ten essentials+. Our young scout (12/13 year old) was trained to use this product prior to the camping event. We planned with her to have enough heat packs for 7 days event though the event was only planned for 4. We sealed the heat pouches in food saver bags, along with the camping food they were designed to cook. It worked so well that her troop leaders asked us to come in and teach a class after that camp.
That’s awesome! This really is a great camping device.
If it's possible, you should upload this video as a product review on the site you purchased it from. Thanks for a great review!
Hadn’t thought of that but it’s a great idea!
I watched your video of Old Mike while I took a break from pulling out my Teardrop Camper to get ready for a trip later in March. I was glad to see more than just mre content and I enjoyed it. You answered all my questions I had about the cooker in this video already thanks
Thanks for watching that video. Got another creepy camping video coming this week.
Great timing for me, thanks :) I know you have been using the Barocook, and so it has been on my list to consider. As a prepper, I like options especially anything that is low key and ultra easy. So seeing a detailed presentation about it helped me go ahead and add to my cart (through your link). Curious if you come up with a DIY heat pack. The packs are back on Amazon as of 3/3
Great! Glad I could help with your decision. Thanks for the product stock update!
Great way to warm up the food. Hot food makes life so much nicer
Absolutely. Easy to use and clean up.
Really enjoying your videos. I’m learning about interesting foods and gear. And moreover, you have an entertaining presentation style. I’d watch just for the entertainment, the information is bonus.
Thank you! That’s high praise. Much appreciated
Excellent vid! We are neighbors! Collierville on the Square - now I know where the military surplus store is- cool beans!
Awesome! That store in Collierville is incredible!
I found your channel through my feed, with your Walmart 24hr DIY MRE video you did a couple of months ago. Which I watched this morning. Took note of the cooker and was curious, saw a second almost immediately after and did some research into the barocook flameless cooking system liked it then I noticed this video.
Glad you decided to do this video. As I like writing stories set in an apocalyptic setting so this was a curiosity that I might like to add to future stories.
Very cool! Hope this helped.
Caught your vid of "old Dead Mike". Excellent vid, I viewed it to check out your teardrop, but I recommend the vid to all your subs.
Thank you. That was something I put my heart into so I appreciate the support.
He’s back 😊😊😊 you make my day better when my mental health gets bad, brother I really need to find this!!!
Thank you. That’s a true honor.
Based on your recommendations I have purchased the Barocook cooker and the Audecook. We are neighbors! Well sort of. 😀
Nice. Hope you love them!
My mom loved using an immersion heater in a hotel room. Cup of soup, swiss miss, coffee
Those are great to have on hand.
Thank you, I was wanting to learn more about this.
Glad to help!
I love how you dont just tell people to buy it, you rationalize why they should and maybe shouldnt just pick one up! Thanks for being honest!
Thank you for getting it. Much appreciated.
I have been so intrigued by it ever since seeing it on your channel.
Hope this video helps
I love that you're introducing people to this method of heating (not cooking) food in their office or even the passenger seat of their car as they travel about before meal time. Good on the trail also. I've used mine in my wife's hospital room several times during a 20 day stay, while she recovered from a stroke. Chunky brand soups and Mountain House meals make a nice change from hospital food when you aren't the patient.
I'd like to make a few suggestions to you about how to get the most from this product and others like it.
Firstly, you don't need the whole system in some cases. Barocook and others sell the heaters along with very thick resealable zip pouches that allow you a very flat and packable alternative to the plastic bowls. They remind me of the resealable pouches that shredded cheese comes in, or frozen shrimp and other fish. Real thick and zip sealable. I actually save those type pouches for using in this way.. (run 'em through the dishwasher or boil them) The only mod required is to poke a small hole near the top for steam to escape. The Mylar bags that coffee beans come in are excellent for this re-purposing.
In the factory varieties, you drop in a heater pouch, fill the bag with whatever you want to steam-heat, (not loose food, but packaged food) that will fit in there, add a little water, seal it and let it do its thing. I've even just put a whole can Chunky soup in the bag, can and all. Gets too hot to eat, if you're indoors or if you wrap it in a sweater or blanket, outdoors. It's a more reliable and efficient FRH. Anything that is retort packaged can just be dropped into the bag. Hormel Bowl meals, precooked rice dishes by Uncle Ben and meat pouches found in Walmart or Kroger, both at the same time. Anything that's packed like an MRE meal, that can be found at the grocer's, will work. MH and Peak freeze-dried meals can have their water added a few minutes ahead of time, soak a bit, and then be dropped into the zip bag, with a heater, wrapped in a sweater and by the time your camp is setup, you have a hot meal. (BTW, save the older and taller MH pouches, if its practical, because they are great to use as the outer bag for your next meal. They don't even have to be washed if you're on the trail. Your food won't contact the inside of that bag anyway, plus the steam generated by the next heater pack will sterilize it).
Even if you use the whole Barocook bowl system, I think that you'll find, especially with retort style packages like your Tamale, that just setting them, unopened, into the plastic bowl, absent the steel bowl, will let you heat more stuff at one time and faster.
Maybe you could make some videos demonstrating (or disproving) my suggestions. I never will, that's for sure, so anyone so inclined, have at it.
Thanks for making the content. I consume it on YT like it was air.
Those are great suggestions. Thanks for that!
Good video, answered a few questions. I am impressed by it.
I’m glad it offered some answers. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff. Great vid.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed the Barocook being the main event!
I figured it was time 😂
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent!! ❤
Thank you
Dang, I need this for my videos. Thanks for the video.
True, but then you wouldn’t need a rock or something
@@dadbudgetadventures clever sir, quite.
This would be great in a deer stand or out fishing on the boat also urban , office use
Absolutely. So many great applications
That sucker really cooks! This video is HOT (= Thanks Mr. L.! Perhaps you could make a video on how to DIY a cook pack soon?
Thank you! Once I figure it out you can bet I’ll share.
Great video, thanks for sharing it with us.
JT
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Sweet!
😎
Dude! That is very cool! I can totally see using it for flameless food prep. Would enjoy seeing how you would come up with your own heating solution using quicklime. Would it be cheaper than the premade packs? Awesome content!
If I can figure out the way to make them myself it would be cheaper. It may be a process though. Keep watching
I'll definitely stayed tuned! @@dadbudgetadventures
I LOVE your videos. My problem is I'm visually impaired. While the Barocook seems fascinating, is an s-bit stove a better option for someone like me, in shelter-jn-place situation? Just wondering. Keep up the good work.
Esbit stoves are great but do involve an open flame that can be hard to put out. The best part of the Barocook, and something to consider for someone with visual impairment, is that fire can be even more dangerous. Of course there’s also the fact that Esbit fuel tabs put off toxic fumes and the Barocook does not. But you really just have to determine which meets your specific needs and go with that.
I wanted to see how my dog would do camping. I wish we would have had a Barocook. Certainly could have used the warmth last night.
I’m not brave enough to take my dog along. I worry he’ll go chasing something and get lost in the woods.
If you want a challenge or a new mre idea : hoe about a breakfast only mre. You rarely see the. maybe pick 3 stores you have visited and make mres. You can even modify 1 of your rules. lol
I keep looking for stuff to do just that but breakfast is a much neglected meal in the shelf stable food market. Gonna keep looking though.
Great video! The Amazon site does not show the sleeve. Does the sleeve come with it?
As far as I know. Mine did but I bought it four years ago so I can’t say if that has changed.
I hope you don’t mind but I emailed a link for this video to barocook just now
I don’t mind at all. That’s how it works, so I truly appreciate it!
I like the concept but the fuel packs are expensive. My DIY attempts with calcium chloride were a failure so I will try the quicklime. For my purposes a 12v electric lunch box is probably fine.
I just picked one up and will be using it in a video soon.
Question: Have you or anyone tried to cook or heat up anything using the metal pan and a flame heat source (tabs, alcohol cooker, etc)? I'm wondering how it will hold up to more traditional heat sources in case one runs out of the heat packs or gets a bad one, or something like that. It's great you've never had a pack not fail so far, but one can't discount the possibility entirely.
Great question. I might need to test that.
I'll be eagerly watching to see if you do a DIY heater pack for this.
It seems that you have a number of options for chemical reactions, but they all have some drawbacks.
Magnesium + Iron + water= very hard to get chemicals, very hard to mix unless you use a ball mill and you are very brave. Add salt (sodium chloride) for a more vigorous reaction.
Calcium oxide (quicklime) + water = good, but the waste product is corrosive to aluminum cookware. Can be made safe with vinegar, then disposed of.
Calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) + aluminum + water = good, easy to come by materials, again you have issues with the waste products. Can also be done with calcium oxide + aluminum + water.
And of course, where do we get the chemicals? Either you can buy small quantities at a chemical supply house for $$$$$, or you can buy them in a 50 pound sack and have a 20-lifetime supply of materials. A 50 pound sack of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime), divided into 50g packets, would yield 453 heaters.
I think you could probably figure out a way to make the fabric bag out of a flat coffee filter, with the top folded closed and somehow sealed up, maybe with some kind of waterproof glue or caulking.
It seems like you should be able to make the heater packs for far cheaper than they offer them for sale. But it may take some experimentation to get it right.
Writing all of this down. Thanks!
❤

i bet empty tea bags would be good to fill with the quick lime. Store them in vacuum sealer bags. They do make calcium hydroxide which is caustic. After a while they will absorb CO2 and become calcium carbonate (limestone).
That’s kinda the way they make the fuel packs. Experiment coming soon.
Amazon has the fuel packs in stock as of 3/1/24
Nice! They were out for a bit. Hopefully they can keep up.
I may have missed it, but how long will the packet cook for?
I’ve run them for about 20-25 minutes but they will stay hot longer than they pump out heat for.
Where did you get your packages for your homemade and maurice
From Amazon. There’s a link in the description box to the ones I use.
Could you use water from a creek (not sanitized) to cover the heater pack?
Absolutely!!👍
@@brucelarson4283
Thanks!
You could pee on it if you had to. Not that I’d recommend it.
@@dadbudgetadventures didn't want to share that info!!🤔😁😁
😂
I can't remember what MRE stands for. Is it Meals Rejected by Ethiopia or Meal Ready to Excrete? It's been a long time.
Guess it depends on what day of the week it is.

Thank you!

It's "tugging" at me
Don’t let it tug too hard
If you email to the company it doesn’t reply
Good thing I haven’t needed customer service 😬
