Esbit Folding Stove
Feb 8 2011, 1:53 AM EST | Post edited: Feb 8 2011, 1:53 AM EST
This is a very cool stove. I think it is better than the wetfire stove. It is basically a windscreen/fuel holder/ potholder/stove. It has many uses.

The Fuel burns long but it is not waterproof. It does not burn that hot either.

Even though the website says one cube will boil 2 cups of water I often find myself having to use 2 cubes. When folded the stove can hold contain 4 fuel tablets.

Again I have to strees that Weber fire starters are a much better fuel all round than esbit and WetFire. Some people will say that Esbit fuel boils better but I have to dissagree. It took 15 minutes and 2 Esbit cubes for me to boils 2 cups of water. It only took one Weber Fire starter and 8 minutes to boil the same amount. This was after the pot cooled of course. I think it is better than the wetfire stove because of its multiple uses and semi efficient fuel consumption. Heres the Link.
