Hello all

I thought the pot was just sitting on tent pegs. How many hexi blocks did you use and how long did they burn for?

Ye I was definitely glad to get home the next morning. The stove was my first attempt at making a hobostove, so I had planned to use it with wood but as we had planned to camp on top of Binian I figured I'd just take some hexiblocks with us to save us walking around Annalong forest on the way and collecting wood and then theres always the risk of not collecting enough, so bought a box of hexiblocks in the camping shop in Newcastle. Surprisingly it brought about a litre to the boil in about 6 minutes which was great. The stand is actually made out of book ends that clip into the top of a shelf thing that sits on top of my desk at home, they're basically just a squared U-shape, so sticking four into the ground works great, just two would work as well but four gives it a lot more stability.

They burned pretty fast so I went through 9 of them, which lasted about 15 minutes. Enough time to bring water to the boil, cook some boil in the bag rice and Marks & Spencer's chicken in white sauce.
