All-weather bio-gel fuel

BCB Fire Dragon Gel is a 250ml ethanol-based bio-fuel that doubles as a firelighter. Developed by BCB with Cardiff University, it is made from 100 percent natural ingredients including ethanol sourced from UK-grown grain, so it burns clean and hot with a colourless flame and none of the black smoke you get from meths.

Cook anywhere

The gel is an ideal companion for the BCB Crusader cooking system and other multi-fuel and meths burners. Squeeze it into your cooker, light it with a match or fire steel and get a fast, reliable boil for brews and rations even in driving rain, freezing cold or searing heat.

Safer and cleaner to carry

Because it is a non-drip gel rather than a free-flowing liquid, it is safer to carry and less likely to spill if a stove is knocked. It is non-toxic, leaves virtually no residue on your pots and floats on water, and every bottle has a child-proof cap.

Age restricted product

This is a restricted sale item for over 18s only. Photographic proof of ID is required and it cannot be supplied to anyone under 18. Explore more camping and field and survival gear to complete your cook kit.

Frequently asked questions

What can I use Fire Dragon gel for?

It works as a multi-fuel stove fuel and as a firelighter. Use it in meths and multi-fuel cookers such as the BCB Crusader, to start a charcoal BBQ, or to get a campfire going in wet conditions.

Is it safer than liquid meths?

The gel format does not flow or drip like liquid alcohol, which reduces spills if a stove is knocked over. It is also non-toxic and made from natural ingredients, though it remains highly flammable.

Will it work in bad weather?

Yes. Fire Dragon is designed for all weather and lights easily in rain, wind and snow. It even floats and can keep burning on water.

Should I use it in a spirit burner?

It is suited to standard meths burners and multi-fuel cooking systems. Always follow the burner manufacturer guidance and never refill a hot or lit burner.

Why is there an age restriction?

This is a restricted fuel product sold to over 18s only. Photographic proof of ID is required and it cannot be supplied to anyone under that age.
