    This a hexi/fire dragon stove designed for the latest issue canteen cups. It is ultimately disposable when the integrity of the fuel shelf gives out. However it will be usable with a bit of care for a long time. Notice the lack of visible flames as the design's reflective inside is very efficient at projecting the heat upwards. It folds down and can be carried in a cargo pocket. The cup being used is a Dutch Army one so doesn't quite fit but still works.

    I would be great if an admin could transfer this to the appropriate section of the SRG. The suppliers name (but possibly not the manufacturer)is Vestey who manufacture Military MREs

    Here are a couple that I forgot I had. I use the tin for holding the fuel to save the folding shelf. IMG_20210521_155916.jpg IMG_20210521_161609.jpg
