Hiking Stove

WOW!! Love to have one..

I have one of the Esbit stoves also and after many years must say its the best stove Ive ever had!

Once again I have to throw in my two cents and mention an Esbit stove, which burns hot and quite long using small Trioxane fuel tablets. Nice thing to try plus it's the ultra in ultralight. I like the alcohol stoves also, but I loath carrying any flammible liquid on my persons and what it uses can go BOOM in the right unfortunate circumstances.

Cheers,

How long does it take to boil 16oz. of water with an Esbit Stove?

So I made one of those alcohol stoves and a stand last week and took on a camp out this past weekend. While it worked to boil water I am concerned about the safest way to carry the alcohol. I use a Gatorade 12oz. bottle but I was scared it was going to leak.
I thought of buying a metal flask since it won't crush that easy.

What would be a good container to carry the fuel in?

I also was wondering about a Coleman Sportster II Dual Fuel 1-Burner Stove. From what I read on Amazon it only weighs 5 oz., would run about 1.5 hours on high with 1oz. of fuel. This might be too bulky for hiking, though.

Thanks,

I mean, if you have a big enough bag it would be extremely nice to have on a trip like that.. Your call.
