Playing with fire

[saxonaxe]

I had a little wander on the Downs in mind and as the land is a National Park and in Places National Trust too, open fires are not encouraged. Fair enough, I use a little gas stove anyway but thought I'd experiment with a little meths stove as back-up.
Sax cannot operate without brews..:D :D

Usual brew stove..

A doctored hexi stove with the little 'grate' that the fuel sits on cut away.

Assembled upside down over a Highlander meth burner (always found them as effective as posh meths burners)

Assembled that way allows the mug to sit above the burner and give a nice clearance for the flame. Boiled in about 8.5 minutes without a lid.

Just in case I have problems with the meths burner, this little homemade removable 'grate' allows me to burn solid fuel tabs in the normal way if I need to, with the stove the right way up..:)

Thats a terrific mod!Always keep a hexi stove in jeep in case of emergencies.(still got 7packets of hexi tablets.)but been able to utalise my highlander too,will be great.especially to avoid hexi fumes.if using "indoors".etc.

And if push comes to shove you can burn twigs / cones in them, very versatile stove John T^

That's a super little mod, I've never bothered with a hexi stove, but I may just try that :)
