Esbit Stove

I didn't realize about the fire restrictions. I'm not native to CA. I'm emailing the forest people to see.

i made several alcohol stoves but decided that the fiddle factor of alcohol is too much for me to put up with on a day trip or overnighter.

an insulator / pot holder can be made from neoprene wader gaitors. the kind that are about six inches high and have velcro on the side. cut to fit and velcro around the cup.

i always wanted to try a cone. it has to be efficient.

My Esbit relationship has been a long, I keep coming back to it, after trying to leave it since my cub scout days. The simplicity of the stove is awfully nice. Double bag the stinky tabs. Vertically double-stack for a 16oz boil, single tab flat for a tea thats not too hot to drink. I will occasionally use my snow peak pocket rocket, but hauling a tank and listening to the hiss/roar of the flame, when I'm trying to be quiet, sometimes has me enjoying the stinky simplicity of an Esbit. Wind is an issue but easily overcome.

Coming from a long distance backpacking background, I've been a fan of esbit stoves when used in unison with cone stoves. My current setup for solo needs is a 600ml Ti pot and a Ti cone. This combo can be used either with esbit or in a pinch I can use it as a miniature fire cone. Total weight as pictured for the pot, esbit holder, cone, and stuff sack is 4.5oz

Rockin' a Gram Cracker! And did you fab that cone yourself or cut down a Caldara cone?
