New stove
« on: March 11, 2010 »
Saw this online


Obviously I couldn't resist its titanium charms! So I ordered one (Only cost £7!) and cracked out the Hexi blocks. My first camping cooker was an old Army Issue hexi burner and I forgot how good they were. Using hexi blocks I can get a rolling boil in about 7-8mins using just under half a tab. Even better is that the stove weighs in at 10g! and takes up no space at all when folded. I can see myself using this for a while, especially now its coming into summer.

cool. Saw that stove myself.

AHHH I love the smell of hexi in the morning. Used to use it all the time with my crusader cup/cooker but it weighed a hell of a lot more the 7g.

Lol no, why would it be? surely your more likely to have an accident with meths exploding all over your bag.

That stove looks class... and no mechanical parts to go wrong or need maintenance either.  It almost looks too straight forward though, I'm a fiddler and I'd have a lack of anything to play with there ;)
