I love my Esbit stove…

The Esbit stove was invented in 1936 by a German company that contracted their stove to the German Wehrmacht. During WWII, the stoves were “discovered” by American GI’s, who often kept them as souvenirs. After the war, the Esbit company continued to manufacture the stove for the West German Bundeswehr. Many American soldiers who were stationed in Germany for the next 60+ years personally bought the stove for their own field use. For obvious reasons, the Esbit company does not proclaim their connection to the Nazis–given the climate in Germany in WWII, the company had little choice to refuse.
great multi fuel possibilities!

I use this stove when I am in my office and work shop. I use it to make a ramen snack and brew coffee and tea. Esbit cubes are a bit pricey and I only use them when I dont have anymore alcohol. I mainly use alcohol as a burner with this. I merely cut the bottom out of a soda can to make a vessal to hold DENATURED alcohol and i just pour about an ounce and a half in it and light it. This ammount of alcohol will get my canteen cup pint boiling in about 8 minutes at rolling. I have the amount of alcohol timed just right for my cooking needs. If I need to extinguish it, I just use an empty tuna can as a burner lid to snuff out the flame. I also keep a box of baking soda as an extinguisher. Never needed it yet, but good to have. I could also use twigs and branches if I were going to use this outside. Keep in mind though that those produce more smoke and soot.
Nice backup stove

Inexpensive and lightweight, this stove is a great backup. Wind and rain would definitely give it a run for it’s money, and I would not want to rely on it for all meals. But in a pinch, this thing can cook food and boil water in a reasonable amount of time, and I found that adding twigs and leaves if needed could extend the life of the fuel tablets.

With one of the fuel tablets I managed to take 2 cups of 65F water to a rolling boil in 5min 30sec easily with maybe another 5min left over. I used a GSI Outdoors Glacier Bottle Cup. The downside I guess is all the black soot on the bottom of my cup, on the bottom of the stove, and on the little prongs that act as stands of the store. Does anybody know of any fuel source that won’t do that?

When I purchased this stove I already had experience with them and was looking for something to go into a bug out bag. These stoves are perfect emergency stoves and can be a life saver. I recommend them to anyone that wants to be prepared for an emergency.
Great Basic Field Stove

First of all, this isn’t a field kitchen. You’re not going to be able to cook a three-course meal for six on it. But it’s great for brewing up hot water for coffee, tea, or to rehydrate a freeze-dried meal when you’re far from anywhere and you’re tired and cold. You can easily supplement the fuel squares with twigs and small branches in order to create a longer-lasting fire for multiple brews. In windy environments it’s also a good idea to carry some aluminium foil to wrape around the unit, in order to stop the flames from being dispersed. After use, some waxy residue from the fuel squares tends to remain on the unit but it’s not a big problem and is easily removed.
Excellent, with limitations

Purchased this as a camping stove, backup stove & emergency stove combo. The stove is light at 3.16 oz. Tested unit outdoors in 45 degree weather, three cups of 50 degree water in a Snow Peak titanium coffee press took 21 minutes to a rolling boil. The wind was steady and I believe the stove would have done much better with a windscreen. The manufacturer claims each pellet lasts 12 minutes, we got 15 minutes out of ours though toward the end the flame was greatly diminished. In our test we needed two fuel pellets to get to a rolling boil. Keep that in mind when deciding how much fuel to pack for a trip.
