Simple question. How long will a Primus power gas 2202 canister last? |

A hex burner like this http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shop/survival-emergency/british-army-1-man-hexi-cooker-310462.html would be plenty, a quarter of a block is plenty to heat enough water for a cuppa. They're very light I use them all the time and I've never even come close to scorching any grass or leaf litter of course its still best to put it on an old bathroom tile as a safety precaution though. |

Remember that Hexamine tablets are poisonous in fumes and as tablets and the need to be kept from the air for storage purposes. |

You can get ethanol pouches which work well and similarly to the tablets, aren't poisonous and are better for the environment, etc. |

Not ideal for OP, but firelighters work as a cheaper and easy to obtain alternative to hexamine tablets. |

I can't recommend ethanol fuel enough. You can get it in little tins like custard or coffe tins. Very easy to light, good heat comes out of it, resistant to the wind and easy to put back out (simply pop the lid on if it is in the tin or otherwise smother it). You can use it as a firelighter if you have plenty of wood or coals or you can use it on its own. It is non toxic, smokeless and environmentally friendly. It's also very safe and hard to go wrong with it. You can also very easily fill the tins back up again when they empty. |

I've just made my own meth burner out of a shoe polish tin and some tin can lids with different size holes in (to alter the size of the flame). It seems to burn merrily enough without wadding but all the similar contraptions on youtube seem to use wadding of some description. What value does wadding add? I've tried it with cat litter (apparently it's good because it holds the meth but is also heat resistant) but can't see any difference. |

>>2041 The burner works fine without the wadding and I've been cooking with it so I won't bother. |
