A folding British army field stove, an upsized copy of the German Esbit model. Don't leave your home without one of these! Comes with a cup holder and a pack of fuel tablets.

Features

This "Hexy stove" can be opened halfway for a smaller cup or all the way for a kettle or a mess kit. Works with any fuel tablets or with twigs in a pinch. Fits in any reasonably sized field jacket pocket if needed, or inside your mess kit.

Measurements about 12 x 9,5 x 3 cm (4.72" x 3.74" x 1.18").

British army surplus

Unissued, complete with a pack of hexamine fuel tablets. We stock suitable fuel tablets for these in case you run out. To be honest, you can probably get them cheaper locally, but if not, they are available here. The tablets included might be smashed up to varying degree, but this does not render them useless in any way. The cooker can be wrapped in brown paper or not.

Tuolla kuppimuotilla onnistuu crusaderkupin lämmittäminen myös risukeittimellä.

A poor take on the traditional Bundeswehr esbit stove. It's better than nothing.

Pelti on ohuempaa kuin Esbit-keittimessä ja taittuu helpommin jos tämän päälle tulee vahingosssa tallattua, muuten tämä ei eroa kuin kokonsa puolesta. Alkuperäiset polttoainetabletit, jos sellaisia jostain saa, ovat isompia ja haisevat vielä enemmän mädältä kalalta kuin Esbit-tabut.

Not bad, if you use low quality fire materials it chars black. Good size for a polish mess kit.

Toimii myös auttavasti risukeittimenä jos ei ole tabletteja.

I used these stoves on and off for 23 years: if you have a British 95 pattern water bottle pouch, they fit into it on the other side of the divider to the 58 pattern mug and bottle. This stove is best used with a British/Dutch mess tin rather than a metal mug. One has to dig a small hole in the ground and put them in with the mess tin resting on the earth, in order to protect the flame from the wind and hide it from sight - using these stoves at night is about as tactical as flashing a 6 cell Maglite around. The fuel packet holds eight large tablets, which should be broken up into four pieces before setting light to them. In 3 season temperatures one needs only a single tablet to get a brew and a boil-in-the-bag meal ready in the 5 minutes or so it takes one to also battle clean one's rifle.

Good piece of kit! However, the stamping is not as sturdy as a smaller, Esbit brand stove. The included fuel works very nicely though! These would be great to distribute with less concern than a genuine Esbit, which I think is nearly heirloom quality tool. These British copies are bigger, but either that sizing up or the grade of the material used makes the whole assembly very bendable, such that when you fold it down you feel like you could twist the thing into a ball.

Comes with a crap-ton of fuel! Considering they include the fuel tabs, these are a pretty worthwhile grab, however, I have an Esbit stove as well and prefer that over this. I wouldn't say the larger size of this british design even necessarily makes it better for cooking larger items... you could put a canteen on this comfortably though - the normal Esbit form is a bit smaller and necessitates a rock or something to help prop up a canteen for boiling. I would love to see reproductions of this design with a sturdier material, the gauge metal is just too thin.

The code of arms is exactly like the Esbit, as well, I just think these should have been made with a stronger gauge metal than what they want.
