Overview

lack coloured aluminium hexamine stove. The stove is made of three parts, the floor and the two sides, which form a box when closed. The floor of the stove has a series of holes stamped into it. This allows the remains of the hexamine tablet to fall away after burning. The sides of the stove open to form the stand at the bottom and the cooking platform on top. The top of each side has been stamped so that when the stove is closed, the sides become interlocking. The sides of the stove have been attached to the base with brass rivets.
