He mentioned the Vargo Triad Ti stove. You might want to take a look at it. <BR/><BR/>http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/vargo_triad_titanium_stove.html<BR/><BR/>Sold out on that site but they have a great write up on the stove.

Then when the flame starts to shrink, I start feeding the twigs in and get a pretty good little fire going that way. A little smoky, and the ashes are a bit dirtier than the tablets, but more cooking time for sure. I once saw a couple of guys using pine cones in theirs to make pasta.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377360916118608254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-72792558340910290312009-04-09T17:33:00.000-07:002009-04-09T17:33:00.000-07:00I'd love to see a post on your Post-Apocalypse Sur...I'd love to see a post on your Post-Apocalypse Survival Bag.Bike Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515001702893412159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-55923562458974865332009-04-09T17:01:00.000-07:002009-04-09T17:01:00.000-07:00Thanks for the review.

I share your stove addiction, having tried almost every style and fuel over the years and I have quite a collection. <BR/><BR/>My favorite so far is a simple homemade pepsi can alcohol stove thats free and easy to make and weighs next to nothing. Cooking with twigs is a cool way go also, but a pain in the rain. <BR/><BR/>I've not tried esbit tabs yet, but plan to soon. The trouble I have with alcohol (aside from the invisible flame...watch those fingers!) is I always seem to take too much or too little fuel. I'm thinking with esbit will be a simple no-brainer way to boil water for couscous dinners and a cup of coffee and oatmeal in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'll put up pictures of my homemade stove and windscreen/pot stand on my blog soon. But if not, there is plenty examples to google out there.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JackJack and Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306313363439375143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612648168389835295.post-35574610442783948882009-04-09T16:56:00.000-07:002009-04-09T16:56:00.000-07:00The function of the esbit is good given its simpli...The function of the esbit is good given its simplicity however I quit carrying mine. The smell of the fuel pellets is awful if the foil breaks inside your bag. It has a bit of a chemically/metallic dead fish aroma! I'll never carry one again because of this smell and a bad experience on one tragic camping trip. <BR/><BR/>Cheers, :)<BR/>Logan.Loganenatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882099683550015237noreply@blogger.com
