    Last time I used a hexi cooker was on excercise on mount pleasant airfield. The wind was that strong it blew them out so I put it in a sheltered area around the side of 1435 flights building. What I didn't know was that the block work foundation was sealed with tar. The H83 and corned beef hash got hot very quickly. I was never asked to cook again.

    The one downside to Hexi Blocks when burning them. Is they make an awful Mess on the base of the cooking vessel! It's a bugger to get off!
