Our exclusive flameless ration heaters are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts of every kind. Campers, hikers, and boaters can all enjoy the comfort of hot food, with minimal preparation. Our flameless ration heaters are safe, both in tented environments and confined spaces, and eliminate the need for matches, open flames, or electricity.
Our flameless ration 
heater (FRH) technology enables you to heat your Action Meal to a ready-to-eat temperature of 80°C in just 12 minutes. No appliances required!
When water is added to the heater sleeve, it reacts with a mixture of magnesium iron alloy and sodium chloride (FDA approved food grade additives) which generates heat and steam.
Our flameless ration heaters are specially designed to accommodate Canadian Forces IMPs (Instant Meal Packs), but they also work with with US civilian MREs and, of course, with our own Action Meals. Action Meals come in a variety of delicious menus, as pre-packaged, individual meal packs, heated by our patented FRHs.
