Edelrid Hexon multifuel stove

[pharmamatt]

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this stove, I don't think you can in buy it Australia atm. But it seem very similar to a MSR dragonfly in design and price, but it is able to use gas cannisters as well as a metal pump assembly and seems to be lighter

Interesting design.

Ive got an Edelrid rope which was grossly underquoted in weight by 20% so i'm not so sure if this stove's listed weight is true to its specs.

I found another link which might have a more accurate weight and it's got a few more pics

I'd be interested to find out how well you can control the heat output with this

Matt, I think that you will find the Hexon is similar to the Kovea Booster+. And, if you compare the Edelrid and Kovea stove catalogues, you will recognise the 'parentage'. Kovea make stoves for other companies and I suspect that is where Edelrid are getting 'their' stoves. (The pumps for the Hexon and Booster+ look identical.) Dual LPG / white gas (Shellite) capacity is common to quite a few Chinese and Korean stoves. Some of the Primus stoves can similarly burn LPG and liquid fuels. Handy if you are walking/climbing or travelling in areas where it is difficult to source your 'favourite' fuel.
