Esbit Ultralight Folding Pocket Stove: 6 14G Solid Fuel Tablets, Steel Construction - Small Size Review

I bought this item simply because I got interested in the latest camping tech. I saw a number of YouTube videos on this product and wanted to try it.I set up my Esbit stove on a concrete block and placed exactly one cup of water in a 9 inch steel saucepan. I also measured off one cup of Minute Rice for an edible trial.

Nice adorable unit. What can I say it cooks food and boiled water. I use it with a WWII style mess kit and have has no issues, works great with Stanley adventure. I have similar products that I keep in my car but those are actually a bit big for something like the Stanley adventure. This product is a great emergency or camping stove. Just buy one and have fun with it. If your like me you probably don't need it and your wife would prefer you spend money elsewhere so buy it anyway!

When folded, it can carry several sealed fuel pellets inside. When open, it works well for quick cooking. This is a great option for overnight camping if firewood is scarce, or building a fire for cooking is not the best option for any other reason.
