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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact numbers for you gear geeks like me.

First of all the conditions for you:Esbit FP stove, Esbit solid fuel tab (one), tap cold H2O in a MSR Alpine Stowaway Pot (liter) filled 90% with lid on, elevation 3100 ft, and outside temp 34° with no wind.@2:16 bubbles collected on bottom of pan.@4:41 large amount of steam still not a true boil.@8:32 flame is getting noticeably smaller but definitely holding temperature.@13:06 flame goes out completely.Though the water never came up to a rolling boil, a "rapid simmer" was achieved quicker than I expected and was maintained for a solid 5 minutes +. Great product in my opinion and functioned better than I expected. I am not a fuel user and only burn wood, but I will throw this stove and tablets in the pack mainly because of the minimal size and ease of use. I will probably end up owning several of these.
