Swiss Volcano bottle (surplus) Test

Just received as a present.
Reason for this is to have stove, bottle and mug all-in-one
Looks that I’m going to use two water bottles – this below as main container and smaller one for drinking while walking.
Now about those tests:
First – it fits perfectly in Mole type pocket for water.

This thing is stove, bottle (one litre)  and mug

After disassembling:

I started with igniting some fire:

Then mug

Water was boiled quite fast (I was not measuring time)
There is a possibility to boil directly in this bottle – which gives you an opportunity to use it when it’s really cold and you are caring ice within.
Anyway – this is great idea.
Its nicer to have open fire than using gas stove for making tea or coffee.
You can use normal pot with this, but you have to stich this stove with some sticks to the ground to make it more stable. (no problem with this as there is wire for holding hot stove there)
