I had never heard of it but its £32.90 on Amazon without the case or £43.90 with the case however you need to add on the price of a Trangia burner
and a search found a good video explaining it LINKY POO

Its a donkeys old system that is just getting constantly updated. Its a lot of money for something that is just a system that basically you are just cooking in a cup.

I don't really know how old they are but I was using them when I was in the army and I finished in '99. Back then you was just using hexi blocks, now it seems they have updated to spirit burners.

There are better options on the market, cheaper and far more versatile that will let you use a pan or even a ridgemonkey. They are Ok for travelling light, but once again still better options for that.

Gerry years ago posted a small spirit burner off Amazon which I still use, in fact I have two of them they are that good, if I'm not using the gas burner or primus and I can cook in my steel mug on it, use a pan or a ridgemonkey and that is far better.
