Military Cooking Challenges
For over 70 years, militaries around the world have used cooking fuels
and stoves that have remained largely unchanged since their introduction.
It is essential that all modern military personnel are well fed and
able to sustain themselves in the field either as individual soldiers
or as groups. Over the past few years much effort has been made
to improve the content and quality of ration packs issued to
soldiers. Now there is even more need to improve the Operational
Ration Heaters and cook stoves so that the soldiers can cook
safely, cleanly and quickly in any military situation.
Military Cooking Solutions
With the advent of new materials and smarter technologies, Zip™
and Boilex™ have created a complete range of clean cooking
systems that meet the current needs of the modern soldier.
Each Boilex™ stove has been uniquely designed to optimise the
power and efficiency of Zip™ Cooking Fuel, so food can be cooked
quickly and cleanly, making them highly effective alternatives to
traditional options such as wood, gas, Hexamine, alcohol gels or
Kerosene, many of which present safety and transport issues.
BoilexTM Stoves
All of the Boilex™ stoves are constructed from durable
Stainless Steel or Aluminium metal to ensure that the stove
is lightweight, easy to use, robust and efficient. They may
also all be used with standard-issue pots, cups and pans.
Designed for individual cooking, The Boilex™ Pyramid, Flexifold,
All in One and Nano stoves are small enough to be carried in a
soldiers pocket or backpack. Moreover the All in One stove
negates the need for additional cooking equipment as it has an
integrated water chamber as part of the stove.
The Boilex™ Ultra stove is more durable and more powerful to
cater for the needs of larger groups of soldiers.
ZipTM Cooking fuel
To fuel the range of Boilex™ stoves, Zip™ have produced a range of
cooking fuels that are non – toxic and formulated using naturally
derived, sustainable biofuel that burn cleanly with a high calorific
value and no sooty deposits. They can be used both indoors and
outdoors (providing adequate ventilation) and in all weather conditions
from Arctic, through to deserts and jungles. Since the fuel is not
classified as hazardous and is non-explosive it can be air transported
to remote locations and parachute dropped as required.
Current Fuel Choices
Boilex™ Cooking Systems
The Boilex™ stoves and the Zip™ Cooking Fuel work very efficiently together to deliver
optimum water heating and food cooking system solutions for use in any location, by
every modern army. They can also be delivered as bespoke solutions to meet all
military cooking and fuel requirements.
Until now, the choice of fuel and energy technology
options available for military situation has been limited.
These traditional fuels have significant weaknesses.

KEY ADVANTAGES
Zip Cooking Fuel
TM
Powerful and long burning
Non-toxic and safe for humans and wildlife
if accidently ingested
The Boilex™ Nano Stove
Perfect for individuals, a complete, clean, easy to
use, personal cooking system that fits inside a
cup. A small battery (4xAAA) operated fan blows
air through the combustion chamber and over the
fuel, ensuring complete combustion (translucent
blue flame) and giving a cleaner, hotter burn.
500ml of water will boil in c 6 mins and food can
then be simmered by turning down the air inlet
gauge. Once cooled, the stove and any unused fuel
can be stored in the cup for later use.
Suitable for use in extreme weather conditions
Clean to handle/ clean burn – no soot
Easy to light
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
(providing adequate ventilation)
Lightweight and easy to carry
Odourless
Group Cooking
Boilex™ Ultra Stove
One of the cleanest burning, most economical stoves
on the market with the added convenience of being
able to use liquids, biomass and high energy fuels in
the one stove. Ideal for large groups, it will boil 5 litres
of water in c12 mins and will use up to 40% less fuel
than comparable stoves and c80% less than open fires.
Made of steel and aluminium, it is sufficiently robust to
hold extremely large pots and pans. It works by an
in-built battery-operated fan blowing air through the
crucible and over the fuel, ensuring more complete
combustion of the fuel being used. The power of the
stove is varied by modifying the air inlet gauge, and
thereby works in a similar fashion to a gas stove. The
battery and fan are housed in a separate engine unit
that slots on the front of the stove and that can be
stored inside the crucible during transit, minimising
space. The engine unit has the added advantage of an
integrated USB / DC port for charging / powering items
such as cell phones and lights.
