So it's not good value for a tenner ?
Seems like it is to me.

I'm with FGYT on this good for a tenner not for 22 quid. I was a little disappointed in mine, it's such a pain in the :tapedshut to get it back into the pouch without getting filthy!!:cussing: I should really get a new pouch for it.
If you've got the space I'd stick with a homemade ikea/morrisons hobo, if not then it's cool :D (how fickle am I!!?)
Cheers,

I'd echo the above sentiments. I would have been upset if I'd paid the full £22, but OK value at a tenner.
I found it quite difficult to get a fire started in it and to keep a decent fire going inside it.
i've just swapped mine - it looks great on the coffee table when you get it through the post, but you have to use small fuel to keep it going, and keep it going by feeding it all the time........pffffffffft....... ..
give me my hexy anyday - much easier, and much cheaper

Interesting. I suppose that twigs and small sticks will burn faster so hence the constant monitoring.
Use hardwoods instead ?

I have a sheet or two of newspaper wrapped around the cooker which helps in not getting too dirty and allows the split pins to slide in without snagging the pouch.
Also useful as an aid to starting it!

PS worth £10

Got mine as a present the same weekend i made a hobo stove out of a stainless biscuit tin, i've used the hobo every time i've been out since making it. I love the design of the pocket cooker, nicely built aswell if a little heavy, will get used at some point just not sure when :lmao: Well worth a tenner though:)
