Since 1992 a Flameless Ration Heater (FRH) has been added to each Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE) field ration menu. The main course of a MRE is something like chicken stew or spaghetti and meatballs in a plastic and aluminum foil pouch. Soldiers heat the food by dropping the pouch into a pot of boiling water or leaning it against the exhaust manifold or radiator of a vehicle engine. When there’s not enough time to boil water or wait for dinner to heat on an engine, they use the Flameless Ration Heater that comes with each MRE.Simply drop the food pouch into the Flameless Ration Heater, which is enclosed in a thin, plastic sleeve.
Selfheatingbag.com was the originator and manufacturer of the water activated heater Flameless Ration Heater designed for the U.S. Army, although several companies now supply the market. Approximately 30 million FRHs were purchased every year from Selfheatingbag.com.
The alternative heat source to the Flameless Ration Heater is UtilityFlame™ portable fire gel. It fulfills all the heat source needs of the modern warfighter, and is a perfect fuel for cooking and as a fire starter. It is approved by the US Defense Logistics Agency, as well as by the armed forces of Canada and Norway.
