Thread: cookers

As a grunt of many years I think I only ever used hexi tabs, for cooking when on basic. They are very reliable but they stunk, were dirty and way to friggin slow. Gas was by far the best for a modern soldier. It was a tad noisy if you sat to close to it, making listening for what you should be, hard.
I always carry some these days for starting a fire if I ever need it.
