Esbit Ultralight Folding Pocket Stove

Ideal for backpacking, camping as well as home and auto emergency kits, the Esbit Pocket Stove folds compact enough to fit in a pocket. Constructed from durable, galvanized steel, the Esbit Pocket Stove features two selectable cooking grades and are suitable for use with cups, pots, and pans. Includes six Esbit 14 g solid fuel tablets that will burn about 12 minutes each. Extra fuel tablets can be stored inside the stove. Closed dimensions: 3.9 x 3 x 0.9 inches. Weight (including fuel) 6.3 oz (180g).

The stove is lightweight at only 3.25 oz and is compact measuring only 3" x 4" x 3/4". When the stove is closed you can easily store 4 solid fuel tables inside the stove. The solid fuel tables are very easy and quick to light using a cheap Bic lighter. The fuel does have a "fishy" smell when burning. Each full solid fuel tablet burned for 15 minutes and it took about 7 minutes to boil a cup of water without using a lid in 32 degree temperature. The fuel tables can be cut in half or quarters if necessary. In windy conditions it is beneficial to have a windscreen to increase the effectiveness of the stove.

It was very nice to have a hot cup of tea in the middle of nowhere when I was cold. Obviously this stove is not designed for heavy duty cooking so if you are looking to cook a big meal this should not be your first choice of a stove. If you are looking to boil water for tea, hot chocolate, etc. or to heat a can of chili then this stove will work great.
