Experimenting with a bcb fire dragon pocket stove to see if I can cook a nice pice of steak with just two fire dragon gel cubes,
This lightweight bcb pocket stove is great for hiking, camping and many more outdoor activities when you just need to stop and boil some water for a coffee or even just quickly do yourself a fast meal,
The bcb fire dragon pocket stove is available on amazon and eBay and the fire dragon gel is available on line and available in outdoor camping shops like go outdoors.

Great video 🔥The mess tins are a great bit of kit, the military use two blocks of FireDragon in the field to cook multiple rations packs in the mess tin at once - definitely a time saver! Interestingly the mess tin has seen very little changes since WW2. Little tip - you can use the FireDragon to disinfect your hands before using it and it has no effect on the burn timings.

Hi Dan. I use mess tin all the time, I love them. I also have a couple of the bcb firedragon stoves too but I use the firedragon gel that comes in a bag it's much cheaper and if you fill the fuel container to the top it will burn for 20 minutes 😁

Mr Fox I live in a tent and rely on my mess time and hexi burner! Best soup in the tin ban Marie style. Try. Boil water for tea,or pot noodle. Or cook packet noodles straight in the tin. Fried egg sandwich, fried bacon sandwich (don't use butter! Mop the Brea in the bacon flavoured oil instead when it's cooked!). Basically the skys the limit with these, and they're self containing. If it's good enough for the army it's good enough for me 😀

Late to the party here, but Mr Fox is a very lucky canine, and I'm guessing he enjoyed that steak very much! I've just ordered one of those cracking little stoves plus the fire dragon gel fuel in the squeezy bag (ie not the cube version) to go with it for a forthcoming month long winter camping trip in february! I wanted to use it just as a quick-lighting stove for boiling water for a cuppa (the paraffin stove i normally use for cooking takes a little while to come to full flame properly so would be a drag to use each time I just wanted to make a brew!) Looks like it has more talents than just making a cup of tea - I could cook quick meals on it too by the looks of things! The little stove and a litre of the gel only cost around £10 altogether (I bought them separately off ebay), so I think I've got one helluva bargain!!

Mess tins were designed, to be used in a field kitchen, where you formed a line to get your scran. They were not to cook out of just eat out off. Those stove have changed a bit over the years, were issued to uk armed forces for field use also cadet forces used them. Fro the 1950s onwards . Compact light and portable not unlike trangia type burner. Very basic but does the job. Yes i have my old issue stove and mess tins too.

Great little stoves, my only observation is you need enough fuel in your pack which can take up precious space if you're out for longer than a night. Cracking for a quick easy brew up, silent and very low odour so pretty stealthy if properly shielded. Almost always take the Firedragon Mini as it fits nicely in a hip pocket and compliments my ultra light meths burners well. Mr Fox said so :D

It’s very good as a back up. That’s what I use mine for. The stove and 3 blocks don’t take up any room. And for the me, that tiny bit extra weight is worth it for some peace of mind. But of you use them freeze dried type meals and you only doing an over nighter that this is perfect 👍

The Fire Dragon stove is absolutely a winner. But. The Fire Dragon gel and the cubes are very expensive. I use 83% hand sanitizer gel. It costs a fraction of the price of the cubes. The only downside is a little bit more residue in the stove.

Yep guilty of having various types of nesting mess tins, I personally like the old US stainless steel mess tin because they are cheap, durable and the top and bottom link together making a study plate and dish arrangement. The dish also makes a great little frying pan with a very long handle. If you do not have one and want to try it they are available new on amazon. Well worth the money. You will not regret it. They work very well on the Kelley (ghilli kettle) hobo stove.

Thanks for the video. I've been looking into getting a trangia, but didn't like the way the flame can get a bit lively with liquid fuel, plus risk of spilling it. This looks a great option, and budget friendly. BTW I have sung the song 'What does the fox say' to a fox once. I scared the living jeepers out of it. You can't really sing it quietly. I think that confirms I watched this to the end lol.

I have a Trangia Burner. Fill the fuel compartment with Ceramic / Glass Wool and / or Carbon Felt. My version is Glass Wool topped with a tight roll of Carbon Felt to keep everything in place. It still blooms .. burn efficiency does not appear to be appreciably affected. It lights up quicker in sub-zero temperatures and the pot / pan can be placed onto the stand before 'blooming' with minimal risk of snuffing the flame due to the cold. And .. the risk of burning fuel spillage is drastically reduced. The majoriy of my Alcohol / Methylated Sprits Burners have been so modified. Being doing this for years .. try it.
