A better method would be, dig a hole in the ground, small tin on bottom, fill it with a cup of water, place a boil in the bag rat pack inside, large tin on the top, one and a half hexi blocks, depending on how hot or cold it is that day? Turn the bag when there's half the hexi left, let it boil til the hexi burns out, take the bag out, use what water you need for a hot drink, eat your meal and any water left over, let it cool then pour it back in your canteen, Simples ;-)
which is the only part of the mess tin that got heated.
You can also use esbit fuel tablets or the new ethanol fuel gel packets called greenheat as this is non toxic to eat or if mixed with food by accident and has a blue flame and is used in the bcb crusader cooker/crusader cup cooking system and comes in a box of 12 packets and you squeeze out the gel onto a sheet of cooking foil folded double placed on the cooker so avoiding the gel falling down the holes.

your suppost to use the small mess tin and then cover with the larger mess tin. It heats a lot fast and acts like a pressure type cooker. It also gives u a large surface to cook bacongrill etc on top of the larger mess tin
