[pct-l] Fuel Amounts for Pepsi can stove

[stillroaming at earthlink.net (Scott Parks)]

Here are the results including Esbit for 12 days:

Stove_Type Total_Weight

Esbit                               11.0   (optionally, 6 oz)
MSR WindPro                  18.5 oz
Pepsi Can                        26.5

Per Bill's Calcs, Esbit is a whopping 15oz less than the  Pepsi can stove,
and 7.5 oz lighter than the MSR, initially for a 12 day supply.

Esbit stove 5 oz, fuel 0.5 oz x 12 days = 11 oz

For the ultra-light purist you can exclude the stove
and use 3 tent stakes (doubling their duty) to hold 
your pot and a small stone to place the fuel on. This
reduces your weight to just fuel, 6 oz.

Thanks Bill for your stats. You have FURTHER proven
that Esbit is the best pragmatic choice for cooking.

Emotionally speaking, Pepsi can is clearly the winner. Don't fight
it. :)
