A few months ago I picked up the Esbit emergency stove while at the NOC in Gatlinburg. I really wasn’t in the market for another stove, but this one was only $5, so I thought it might be worth playing around with.
Constructed from electrolytic galvanized steel
Lightweight, 1.1oz
Pliable (uses 25-30 times)
Includes three 14g solid fuel cubes (0.5 oz each)
Total weight with fuel cubes – 2.6 oz
This was a perfect time for me to try out the Wise Company Cheesy Lasagna! This was the first time that I’ve tried the Wise Company dehydrated meals, but I got to say, this is one of my new favorites!
Check out the short video below.
Even though I didn’t have a rolling boil, the water was plenty hot enough to re-hydrate the meal and provide a hot lunch. I believe I could have saved fuel and got a rolling boil by using a windshield, so in the future that’s definitely what I’ll do. I question the 25-30 uses claimed on the label. With the bending of the material your uses may vary, so I wouldn’t want to depend on this on a multi-day trip, but would definitely give it a try on an overnighter.
Thanks for tuning in!
