The Xboil is one hell of a Stove. Leo ships world wide. XBOIL Link 🔗 - www.x-boil.de/english.html

[@Trains-With-Shane]

I may have to reevaluate my cook kit. My idea for a 750ml nested setup was to use an isobutane burner like an MSR Pocket Rocket or Soto Amacus. I think the 100-120g fuel canisters will nest inside as well. And of course a folding spoon or spork like you use. I've got a few of those both in stainless steel and titanium.

[@soletrail]

The X-boil is such a cool bit of kit and the manufacturer Leo is a gent. Great guy to deal with.

[@pinoyswisshiker7119]

I got my xboil fs105 today and tested it. Outside temperature is 6 degrees celcius. With Toaks 750 ml titanium pot. Water boils 5.30 minutes of 500 ml of water. Its a lightweight stove.

[@markdunphy7652]

Good to see you back on KZbin and hopefully see another one of your Camping/hikes adventures

[@soletrail]

Hey Pal . Yep plans are ongoing man. Had to take a wee break. Creator burnout is a bitch.

[@foreverirish132]

That’s a great set up 😊 love seeing what people bring out on trail 🏕️

[@soletrail]

Likewise. Gives you great ideas when you see other set ups. 🙂

[@ervinslens]

This looks brilliant, quality seems to be incredibly high! 👌👌

[@soletrail]

Cheers Pal.. great set up.

[@simonau1up384]

I have used these stoves with esbit 1100ml rectangular cookset- works a treat 👍

[@soletrail]

Yep I tried it in the woods. Worked great. A great use for the esbit.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Great review! New subscriber. Thanks for the upload and sharing the experience

[@soletrail]

Likewise pal. Subbed you back. Looking forward to checking out your channel.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

@soletrail thank you very much, greatly appreciate it 🙏

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 The Esbit Stove is another good option .. one of mine too. I have a homemade variation .. A tuna can drilled out for good airflow, a folding trivit from a SS bicycle spoke and a burner made from a 200ml energy drink can (filled with Ceramic / Glass Wool). Not as lightweight but it cost me only time spent as the material was 'salvage'. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..

[@soletrail]

Absolutely, the Esbit Stove is a solid choice! And I'm loving the ingenuity of your homemade setup - a tuna can with good airflow, a folding trivet from an SS bicycle spoke, and a ceramic/glass wool burner. That's some impressive DIY action, and it's awesome how you repurposed salvage materials. A bit more weight is totally worth the cost-free creativity, right? Thanks for sharing your setup and your kind words. Take care as well, and keep those innovative outdoor solutions coming! Happy adventures! 🏕️🔥🚴‍♂️

[@thomasmusso1147]

[@trickofthetrail]

That is the exact setup I use. I've fallen in love with the X-Boil and the Lixada pots are great value. The Esbit looks really interesting. I look forward to seeing how you get on with that. Great review mate. 👍

[@soletrail]

Good man. That's such a good set up. Really is. Yeah I am heading to the woods now for a walk and a cuppa. Will be trying the esbit. Very good use for the stove.

[@soletrail]

By the way. Sub from me mate. Looking forward to seeing your channel 😉

[@trickofthetrail]

@@soletrail Awesome, thanks mate. That means a lot! Enjoy your woodland walk and Xboil cuppa.

[@AquaTech225]

I like the I guess you can say spill proof burners. Just at times. But ultralight I don’t. Only because any fuel not used can be poured at least somewhat back into the bottle. The other had to be burned off. Or used soon enough it don’t evaporate out much. Or possibility of what’s left in it being in the right position long enough than making its way to leak out

[@soletrail]

"Agreed, spill-proof burners are a game-changer! I see what you mean about the ultralight ones. It's nice to have the option to save unused fuel. Safety and efficiency matter. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!"

[@vhfgamer]

Well whadda ya know. You answered a question I was having. Would it fit the esbit folding stove? The answer is yes. So I think I'll be getting one, because I love my esbit folding stove. Then I won't have to use triox tablets anymore.

[@bradrupp5589]

I can't yet find the x boil in the states so I'm forced to try and make my own. I have some 12"X24"X1/4'' 6MM Thickness Felt Carbon Fiber coming in from amazon that I'm going to cut up to fit my empty pellet tins from my air rifle. I couldn't figure out what I would use for a pot stand though. I went through all my alcohol stoves and couldn't find one that would work for that 1 inch sweet spot. You SOLVED that! The Esbit for $8 usd and the graphite felt for $15 sure beats the $60 usd price x boil is getting!.

[@bradrupp5589]

All done Sole Trail. I ended up with an Espit pocket stove with the windscreens and got a rolling boil at 6:10. The beauty of the X-boil is it's windscreen/pot holder. So simple and efficient compared to what I came up with. Thanks again for your post. Fun stuff!

[@BarnabyNutt]

I’ve never used an alcohol stove - I’m usually gas canisters or stick stoves - but you’ve got me interested. I might order one for a play…

[@soletrail]

Likewise. I was always using canister gas. I love the slow pace of the alcohol stoves. Forces you to take a few minutes to take in the view. Plus the alcohol stoves are silent. Love it. 🙂 If you get one, let me know what you think.

[@SCH0IE1]

Been looking for a stove like this for ages! Shame you don't have a referral code because I bought one based on this review! Thanks

[@soletrail]

I'm thrilled to hear that you found the stove you've been searching for! It's always fantastic when a review helps you make a decision. I'm sorry I don't have a referral code to offer, but I'm genuinely glad my input influenced your purchase. Enjoy your new stove.. Happy cooking!

[@Chris66able]

But that big flame is the last thing you want in a vestibule, especially in a smaller tent.

[@soletrail]

Agreed.. you gotta choose your situations wisely. I put just enough full in to boil the water and leave it burn out if using in a vestibule. I don't lift the pot until the flames is out. But canister stoves are much safer.

[@scalar6445]

Great review Martin.I bought an alcohol stove recently and would like to know what type of fuel you are using. Cheers Tony.

[@soletrail]

Hey Tony. Bartoline methylated spirits. You can pick it up I'm woodies. Alcohol Stoves are addictive. What kind did you buy?

[@slickdeville]

@@soletrail I just got a cheap generic one off Amazon.Will be using it on a bikepacking trip around Conemara this week.

[@soletrail]

@@slickdeville happy days. They work well👍

[@martinkeatley6450]

Nice review but 2x150ml doesn't really hack it i have tried to boil 450ml water from the tap in outside temp 0f 9 oc both times burner went out before boiling 450ml waþ

[@elsigotchest0422]

Whats the black thing in the stove?

[@soletrail]

Graphite Sponge

[@chrishamilton2527]

150ml? Is that correct as its a tiny amount?

[@soletrail]

Just noticed, that is a mistake on my part. Thanks for pointing that out. Basically 2 cups full.

[@beetooex]

So it's some carbon foam in a tin? That's hardly revolutionary. DIY it for £5. What an I missing?

[@soletrail]

You're correct in your assessment of the Xboil alcohol stove. It is a relatively simple and straightforward design, and the use of carbon foam in a tin is not a groundbreaking innovation. In essence, it is a type of homemade or DIY alcohol stove that you could indeed create yourself for a lower cost. What you may be missing in the commercial product is the convenience of having a ready-made and tested solution. When you purchase a product like the Xboil stove, you're paying for: Convenience: You don't need to spend time and effort gathering materials and assembling the stove yourself. Quality Control: Commercial products typically undergo quality control checks to ensure they work reliably and safely. Portability and Packaging: The Xboil stove likely comes in a compact, lightweight, and portable package, making it easy to carry for outdoor adventures. Instructions and Support: You may receive instructions or have access to customer support for troubleshooting or questions. Brand Reputation: Some people prefer products from established brands or companies they trust. That said, DIYing a similar alcohol stove can be a fun and cost-effective project if you have the skills and desire to do so. Many outdoor enthusiasts enjoy making their own gear and experimenting with different designs. It ultimately comes down to your personal preferences and whether you value the convenience and assurances that come with a commercial product or prefer the DIY route.
