Great stove! Picked up my first Esbit stove in West Germany 1987-1988. Great way to heat up MRE's and coffee. Still have it, too!

[@Seamus3051]

Love those Esbit stoves !! As economical, and versatile as they come. They're designed to burn solid fuel tabs, but can be used as a twig stove, an alcohol stove , by using a fancy feast cat can, or tuna can filled with alcohol, can be used with , or without any kind of wick, they're adjustable for large, or small cooking pots and generally as versatile as can be found. The German Army has used them for many years, and as far as I know, they're still using them in the field. Thanks for a useful video ... Cheers.

[@totallyfrozen]

You could fill a tuna can with alcohol as you said. Good idea. 👍🏻 You can also fit a little Sterno can in there too.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

I have an Esbit in all my bags. I use all types of fuel. My son used one as a campfire on the AT last weekend. Take care.

[@redsorgum]

I use an empty small bumblebee tuna can, or an empty 177 pellet tin, with sterno fuel in it, it fits in the Esbit stove nicely.

[@thenaturemanadventures]

Nice setup. Great tip using sticks and twigs to keep the fire burning. 👍🔥

[@marcfournier823]

You made laugh with the fire cubes. When I was in the army we had those to heat our MREs. Canada's military has a proud tradition of being a bilingual force. So the fire cubes that were labeled "Poison" had no other identifycation. More than a few French speaking recruits got an unsavoury mouthful because they misread "Poison" as "Poisson", which is French for fish. So I always made sure all my recruits understood the obvious. Some might point out that this was a ridiculous mistake since "poison" in english is also "poison" in french. Given the context of the word with the MRE it was an easy mistake. Proper labeling is important, that's why we have poison symbols now in addition to the word.

[@indoorsandout3022]

OMG lol

[@putinvladimir6293]

aha the french thought it was a white fish platter

[@totallyfrozen]

Very dangerous mistake. That’s the government for you. They come up with an idea to keep soldiers from eating something that actually encourages them to eat it.

[@totallyfrozen]

Nice! I have the Coghlan’s brand one. It’s blued steel and comes with 24 fuel tablets. It’s about $12 at this time. I actually have 2 of them. I keep one in my car for emergencies.

[@COJASh1]

One of the best channels of this ilk on utube thanks for all the work you put in.

[@jaithevegan]

Such a relaxing video...thank you for the review. I’m looking for a small twig burning stove so this helped a lot. I used to make ramen noodles like this too! 💓✌🏽

[@joelabella750]

Esbit Stoves are great solid fuel stoves PROVIDED that you’ll use it with either a windscreen or you’ll find a natural wind barrier for the wind will eat your whole solid fuel! I had a long experience using these stoves and it’s kinda hit or Miss depending on the condition around you hence why I stopped using it and I started using a Trangia Alcohol storm cooker (#27 &#25) and I never looked back thereafter.

[@paulwolf2775]

Thank you. That was very relaxing and enjoyable. I have a Tommy Cooker, haven't used it in quite a long time. They are nice to use and don't weigh very much.

[@kengou1733]

You're making such delicious sounds as you eat.

[@sosteve9113]

Great video,great little stove I used it for my hike in the vosges in france

[@Herbymac0811]

Eating from dishes or cups or pots is fine so long as one has the ability to properly sanitize it when finished. I prefer to carry freeze dried foods or mre's but rarely do I use the cup as a meal container. My trash I either packed out with me or bury it at least two feet. I've tried liquid fuel stoves but find them more geared toward big backpacking trips, in small rucksacks the esbit stove with solid fuel tabs in THE way to go! light weight, small, and fool proof!

[@JJUnohu]

Here in Canada mountain house meals cost about fifteen bucks a pop....that gets crazy expensive....

[@Herbymac0811]

J.J. Unohu Yeah, they’re not cheap here either. But for 3 or 4 outings a year for 2 to 3 days at a time I can deal with it.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Man I wish I would wake up to mid 60s! I got one of those stoves as well and not sure why I don't use it more as they are pretty handy to have around.

[@silvanigra]

What a great idea - to add twigs - it will create a much stronger flame and will last longer!

[@WannaKamaka]

Put a lid on your pot so the water will come to a boil faster.

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Great Sunday video Wendell, thanks brother. If you want to truy out an awesome stove I highly suggest the Fire Ant. Very efficient, I opted for the stainless model. Had Tuff Possum gear make a custom pouch for it.

[@CrimsonRaven51]

Eric Rosbottom I use the mini Pocket Rocket. Heats up very fast.

[@suprememagnetic4850]

Love the stove but the cubes smell like fish. I’m looking for alternative cubes

[@grizzlytaco3447]

Thise Esbit stoves are nice to have! The knock offs are cheap and flimsy! Egg makes ramen noodles better! Enjoy your Sunday my Friend!

Good quick lunch and use of the stove. Thanks and take care.

You didn't make your coffee? That looks like a good tasty lunch! Thanks for the idea for egg drop soup!

I had to pause the video when you cracked that egg in it. Mans google it really quick. Sounds legit. Nicely rob.

Nice and simple. Enjoyed the video and I am a subscriber but I don’t do Facebook. I’ll stay with you here though.

[@johnchastain4351]

Adding an egg is the only way to eat those noodles. I like to scramble mine and add once the water is at a rolling boil. It makes it flower into a million pieces.

[@BingWatcher]

Another enjoyable video, PW 👀👍. ➡Now for a different type of question but do you know how much longer a burn time you can get versus the potential loss in efficiency with having heat diverted from cooking to be used for drying and igniting the wood? 🚧I guess I am wondering where is that sweet spot with the amount of wood to add? 🚧 😀Thanks again!😀😁

[@eqlzr2]

Thx for your interesting vid. Actually, if you're going to pile twigs on your Esbit tab anyway, you only need one tab, or even only part of one. Or none at all if you have a really cheap fire starter like vaseline soaked cotton balls. And, the whole time you're eating your ramen, I'm thinking of the can of Hormel Chili with beans and meat that I always take along. It ain't that much heavier considering you've got to hydrate your noodles with water. Never could stand ramen. ;-)

[@alanwilliams5836]

Esbit stoves have always been an issue with me... don't know why. I do have a couple, and I've even modded them with side aircraft aluminum windscreens that fit into place when you fold them for smaller pots. I think it was first, the fact that for many years, everyone was disappointed that one Esbit hexamine cube couldn't bring 2 cups of water to a boil on it's own using this stove. I've done so many things to try to improve. I thought that maybe a trioxane tab might work better... nope, I found it doesn't. I'm sticking to a small alcohol stove for the lightweight kits, and the wood burning folding stoves for the larger kits. That's my kit now.

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Nice! I always keep an Esbit in all my Kits. I'm glad you shared that it doesn't stop working just because you don't have any Tablets for it. Heck, toss a couple of Tea Candles in it and a Mini Bic, then put it in a Ziploc, Bob's your Uncle. Thanks again and Take Care.

[@59chevt]

Jim, nice video thanks.

[@Seamus3051]

A bit of SPAM, potted meat or sausage improves the flavour of ordinary Ramen; just dice it up into 6 or 7 mm bits and add to the noodles... Cheers.

Hi, don't you find that the OliCamp cup handle gets crazy hot? I have any number of metal mugs but I find the OC really bad for conducting heat to the handle.

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

Seems to get as hot as my other cups

[@jgkgintx]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video of the Esbit stove and making lunch in the woods. I have one in my emergency kit but have yet to use it. Liked the Ramen concoction you put together for lunch. Recognized the "Diablo" hot sauce from TB, right? Being in Texas, I'd probably use Cholula hot sauce, Tapatio, or Texas Pete for heat/flavor. When in Rome...

[@indoorsandout3022]

I carry dried hot peppers with me. You don't have to worry about leaks or having to use a whole packet.

[@dmmikerpg]

Hopefully you've used the Esbit stove by now, always test your equipment.

[@Skills2survive]

Cool.. I joined the FB group.

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

Sweet! I look forward to your posts

Great little vid. What bag were you packed up in out there?

[@petercrawford0]

Thanks for sharing. Is that a home made pouch you use to store your Esbit stove?

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

No army compass pouch

[@kidbach]

i have two not Esbit stoves and cant find the tablets any place that's not by mail order. thanks for sharing.

[@thomasmusso1147]

Here in Switzerland I use cooking gel in a metal bottle top lid .. much cheaper then the tablets and available in any supermarket.

[@kidbach]

@@thomasmusso1147 thanks for the tip. A trip to the supermarket is in my immediate future.

[@Seamus3051]

A fancy feast or a tuna, or potted meat tin works well, if used as an alcohol stove; Esbit stoves are quite versatile and can be adapted to use numerous fuel sources..

[@thomasmusso1147]

@@Seamus3051 .. 100%. I have and use them too .. also compressed charcoal briquetts.

Fire gel like Mautz Fire Ribbon will work too. The trick of adding twigs is also a good one.

I swear I thought I was the only person who added eggs !

Hey I just subscribed to your channel and I really like your stuff. Can you tell me what cup you’re using for your spicy egg drop soup. I like the big handles, appreciate knowing where you got it, thanks. Love the twigs on the Esbit, that’s a game changer

It’s a Asian soup spoon. Can be found at Asian grocery stores etc.

They also sell them at Amazon.com and look for the brand name of Zebra. Yes, the same company, Zebra, that makes the great billy pots. About $6 per dozen with Prime shipping.
