Testing the Esbit


Testing the Esbit, originally uploaded by surlyphoto.

The claimed 8 minute boil time was more like 12 for me. Ambient temp
in the 80's and with cold water. Pretty real world scenario. I can
only imagine (or remember!) less favorable conditions.

I wouldn't take it on a fourteener but its adequate for a motorcycle trip or emergency cup of coffee. It kinda reminds me of boy scouts and those old Sterno stoves except it works better.
