Fire Dragon - Burner - Compact - Foldable

The media could not be loaded. What they don’t tell you is that water is heavy. If walking this is a brilliant stove/cooker if you don’t want gas. I use a variety of stoves which includes Trangia alcohol burners, BCB Mk 1 and Mk2 and a Soto Windmaster and finally an alpkit brew kit. Ok I admit it’s been my help during Covid lockdown to keep me sane. Fortunately I can walk to the countryside within 20 minutes. Anyway, all the above are excellent. The trangia 25 is too heavy for walking but great otherwise. The SOTO is probably my favourite as it’s a superb piece of engineering my only quibble is that the pot stand is separate and fiddly. The BCB crusader kits and the Alp Kit are different systems each in their own right are excellent but I find them heavy. I go for a walk for a few hours up on the hills and weight is important. So this little cooker is amazing. Not much bigger than a cigarette packet. It holds the gel fuel and as you see rustles up a brew no problem at all. Finally it fits in my pocket with my fire steel.Cheap and easy with my BCB steel crusader 1 cup. Edit. The fuel is dirty and left a sooty residue which I cleaned off with Brasso. I wouldn’t try and cook anything either but for a quick brew it’s fine.

Tried this out a couple of times, the stove is very sturdy and will hold up a decent sized Billy can and it looks like it is perfect for the task, make tea and heat MORe's et. al. Not sure if it will last year's but it is up to the task of was designed for.The wind shield is a bonus and adds the the solidness of the stove, the old hexi stoves used to fold up if a big billy was plonked on top.Folded, the stove will hold 3 fire dragon solid fuel tablets and the wind shield, it is very easy to set up and use, just make sure it is on a level surface that you don't mind getting scorched.I would say, keep this in your pack with a three fuel tablets and use it if you need to, at £1.50 it is almost disposable.

This is the first one I've bought, the edges weren't as sharp as some reviews may state a little stiff when opening it up, only big draw back I've found is the center fuel holder is flat again the ground, so I placed the fire dragon on top two small tobacco tins one on the right hand side one on the left to provide a base for the fire dragon to sit above any ground in using to boil water etc, this is a very compact to store and a good bit of gear for the price

I was amazed at the quality of this item. I purchased 2. For £1.99, the thickness of the steel and quality of the riveted parts were as good and in some cases better, than way more expensive ones I've used in the past. It never folded/collapsed with a heavy mess tin full of water on it and feels like a quality item when opened and closed. It doesn't fit standard hexi blocks in the central compartment, so simply trim the blocks down. It also comes with a handy detachable mini wind shield, which I thought was a nice touch. One word of caution is that a couple of the edges may be sharp. When I first unpacked it and pulled it out of the clear film, I cut myself on a sharp edge, however, on the second one I purchased the edge wasn't sharp. It wasn't too bad cut and by no means would I say "don't buy the product", it's a great little cooker, just be careful of any sharp edges. I'd definitely buy again from this company.

The quality is better than one would expect for the price. Excellent value for money, in my opinion.The built-in, mini wind-breaker is an excellent idea, although I would recommend using a back-up windshield, on a very windy day. The BCB Fire Dragon, solid fuel "sachets", work much better in this stove that the truly solid "solid" fuel blocks - such as Highlander, or Yellowstone - and they burn for much longer. Three of the BCB fuel blocks, fit inside the stove, for easy transportation. The windshield can sometimes rattle a bit, but problem solved by wrapping it in a single layer of tinfoil. Any more than a single layer and the stove won't close up nice and neatly.A perfect little backpacking stove.

Burns really well, very compact, however the flames come out of the sides and energy is wasted. This also makes the handle of your cooking pot too hot to hold. Great if you’re tight on space but there are more efficient products available.

Lighter than it looks, compared to an old army hexamine burner it weighs almost nothing, yet is so sturdy it makes the army one look like an embarrassing failure of manufacturing.I do like the little wind screen that comes with it, clips right in the back for added stability.The tray in the middle works just fine with either hexamine tablets or gel fuel after a quick testing, at which point I chucked out the army one and replaced it with this as my backup source of cooking heat.Excellent little burner, 5/5

Very convenient for a quick brew, and stable and sturdy. Even has a small windshield Fuel tray is modifiable for different solid fuels/hexamine tablets of various sizes.Super thing, nothing to fail. Very adaptatable, the tray can take one or two hex tablets, if thats what you wantto burn (can store those within), or the tray can take gel fuel straight in there, and filling will give a good twenty minute burn. The small gel packets are just more litter.... Also you can flatten the tray and burn twigs or use the cut off bottom of an aerosol can and make your own gel container of whatever size you like. For £3.50, you can't lose.Whether you want a quick brew on the trail...well easy: it's not as quick as gas, but that's no issue, or a one pot cook or fry up, this thing weighs nothing and is the size, more or less ,of a pack of cards.
