Ready-to-eat pouches: Instead of boiling water and adding it to the pouch, pouches like Wayfayrer are designed to be submerged in water for around 8 minutes to heat the food inside.

The weatherproof design means that high winds or rain won’t scupper your chances of a hot meal. If you’re planning to use this stove while wild camping at the base of a mountain or along one of Britain’s remote hiking trails, you’ll most likely encounter at least one of those weather conditions. For extra safety, we recommend using the OEX Gas Canister Stabilising Stand alongside the stove. All-in-one design I bought this stove for just that. It's something lightweight and self-contained for some more of my solo trips. Isn't it a JetBoil copy? Of course, the larger size does mean the JetBoil Flash 2.0 will take up more space in your bag, though only by a few centimetres. Which is better? OEX Heiro Solo Stove This is exceptional value for this type of camping stove, which normally retail at double the price. OK it doesn’t have quite the same flash features (neoprene handle, external water boil indicator), but it’s lighter, more compact and offers a competitively rapid boil time. Highly recommended. What’s it best for? Despite the larger size, the JetBoil is only 1 gram heavier than the OEX Heiro Solo Stove. That's very impressive.This clever little feature improves the stove’s efficiency by 30%. The Heat Exchanger is the ‘corrugated’ aluminium section under the pot. It works by increasing the metal surface area meaning more heat is transferred up into the pot. It also directs the heat more to the metal surfaces rather than out and up the sides. Capacity & weight The 0.6L of the OEX Hiero Stove should be enough to heat individual meal pouches or make warm drinks.

Dehydrated meals: Freeze-dried meals like Firepot are designed to be prepared using camping stoves like the OEX Heiro, making them a convenient option for camping trips. Just boil some water in the stove and add it to the pouch.
