Re: [pct-l] Fuel stoves?

[Bobby Goldberg <bobbygoldberg@mediaone.net>]

I have been 100% happy with the Esbit stove.  Boil time will depend on
altitude, wind, water temp, etc., but I generally could get 2 cups of cold
water boiling in about 6/7 minutes (using about 80% of the fuel tab) or 1 cup
in about 4/5 minutes, using about half of the fuel tab.  I "cook" couscous,
dehydrated black beans, "minute rice", dehydrated soups - all with excellent
results.
