Fire Dragon Cooking Gel Fuel - Transparent, 1 Litres

Bought this product to help start fires at leeds festival. Only a tiny bit was needed to get the fire going and it lit up really easily. Just be careful as sometimes you can't see the flames this produces. I will be buying again once I've used this bottle up.

Value for money

Load of rubbish. Its not a gel it's a liquid, I used it on a brand new bbq and it almost damaged it, if I hadn't been there it would be irrevocably damaged, due to my quick thinking I saved it!

very cool - if you have a meths burning stove you still need pot stand/wind guard etc.. then you need to add the fuel. This fuel is like having the same setup without needing the actual stove. Only thing is you seem to need more than you think - i had to put 5 dollops into the fuel crucible of the mk1 bcb crusader set to get a rolling boil - i probably should have just filled the whole crucible to the top. Also it leaves a lot of gunk in the bottom - other than that it works well, its easy to light and doesn't stink everything up like hexamine.Update####Used it a lot more and yes. If you have a pot stand with a fuel crucible this will do the job and no need for an actual stove. Also it lights from a spark very easily (unlike fuel tablets) the only issue is its hard to gauge how much to use and you might need to refuel a few times to get to a boil. If you put in lots in one go it just burns really hot and fast. So seems like using multiple dollops as needed is the way to go

Recently ordered another bottle after experimenting with my first bottle. :) Used the gel with my Ghillie Kettle and had good results even though I had to relight the gel. There was no smoke and any aroma is very slight, not unlike a faint whiff of hippy sticks.The gel is so thick so I have no concern about spillage, if the bottle fell over with the lid off I'd doubt the gel would come out, you have to really squeeze the bottle hard. Personally speaking, I'd probably use the gel more as an all weather fire starter than as a main fuel source.

It's OK and I am sure in good weather it will be better I tried to boil water while it was raining/snowing and a full bcb fire dragon cooker worth only heated the water.

I use this for fire lighting - much easier to light and burns much faster and hotter than your average bbq lighting gel

First time I bought this gelatine, I used to buy the liquid for many years, it is very economic and very safe to use this gel. Really recommended.
