Following on from Eric Methven's recent thread where he says:
I was wondering about peoples' experience (and legalities) of where you can use such a thing (particularly those of us not in Scotland). I've recently started using my crusader cup/stove with hexy blocks when I go out for a bimble and I'd be fairly happy that nobody is going to complain, or at least I can show that it is very low impact. I'd probably feel less confident in explaining burning wood, even if it is in a contained unit.
Any thoughts?

Eric_Methven said:You get some weird looks from regular picnickers, but that's not a problem (for me at least) and it has started the odd interesting conversation from time to time. I've only had a Ranger check me out on two occasions, but when they saw what I was using, and when I explained what it was and how it worked they were fine with it. If I'd lit a fire, I'd have not only been told to put it out, I may also have been prosecuted.
