At the very first day of proper spring, I decided to test solid fuel Esbit pocket stove. Toy is very small 10x7.5x2 cm, and you can put it in your pocket. I tought , that this thing is perfect for taking with me together with water and mug, in case I'd like to make some hot drink while I was not planning to do this.
Stove comes with paper box helping to keep clean your backpack after usage
After opening stove like jack in a box jumps out fuel container with solid tablets. Great as you are not using additional space for it.
To use it you need to put fuel into the stove and ignite.
For this test we used 30ml of water
Working thing looks as above. There was quite windy, we used part of old sleeping mate as a windshield. All of this helped to make tests quite realistic. If I need worm tea - means it is windy, raining and frogs are landing on our heads cause of the weather. After 20 minutes, using 10 tablets we didn't manage to boil the water although it was possible to prepare tea. Solution for above would be thick aluminium foil as a windshield - without windshield it is not usable gear.
There will be second test in a minute
