yep i get out as often as i can but as a full time care giver for my wife i cant always get out hence the vids from home but i still try to share some ideas and knowledge have an awesome week mate

[@jamesparker6383]

I use the BCB along with the Dragon gel, I like the fact that the gel burns cleaner and you really don't have to worry about using it in a closed environment like you do with the hexamine which puts out a small amount of toxic fumes. Great video I really enjoy watching you.

cheers mate

Only just come across this video, so apologies for the late comment.
I have an identical stove, branded Out-D (probably Chinese) and it's an awesome little solid fuel stove.
Using UK size hexi tabs, it's a very good performer. Perfect for a brew or to heat up a boil in the bag meal.
I use it regularly on days out of overnighters.

Thanks for the info! nice bit of kit mate ideal for those quick adventures

I did read somewhere that Hexi was made to be hard to set fire so that when its being moved if the transport gets hit it doesn't go 'whoosh' quite so easily. I know one of my jobs as an instructor was always getting amongst the cadets helping them light it my jet lighter as none of them couldn't. I think I did that twice and didn't have enough time to cook myself so bought myself a jetboil so I could get mine on in seconds and then do the needful with the cadets.

instructors last to eat last to shower last to bug out and no bugger ever says thanks

[@riccojames1]

Those Dragon gels were just £1.99 for 6 until about a year ago!!!!
Stove is £9 today.

[@hampshireoutdoorsandsurviv9340]

yep inflations a right pain in the bum

[@bushcraftoz2]

Hexi for me here in Australia if I am not using an alcohol burner. Dragon gel hard to get and pricey.

[@hampshireoutdoorsandsurviv9340]

its the way to go the dragon gel is good but not worth the extra expense so im combining hexi and spirit burners light and easy if your on the move have an awesome week mate,,,,,,,, mick out

[@stephengarrett8076]

Hexi all the way 👍

[@hampshireoutdoorsandsurviv9340]

its looking like a winner

[@loremice6809]

Have you got a spare alcohol stove so I can go camping again I ain't been for ages

[@hampshireoutdoorsandsurviv9340]

im doing a video in a couple of weeks showing how to make your own

[@loremice6809]

OK nice one looking forward to it

[@loremice6809]

What does it smell like the hexamine

[@hampshireoutdoorsandsurviv9340]

in between deed fish and a public toilet thats not been cleaned in a while

[@loremice6809]

Not nice then are they safe to cook with

[@simonh6371]

@@loremice6809 They are but just not to make toast on lol. The fumes are toxic but they don't enter the water or food if you're cooking in a pot/pan/mess tin/canteen cup. I'm sure there were myths about squaddies toasting bread above them and getting sick lol.

@@simonh6371 thanks mate I asked because they are cheap.
