This cooking set is sturdy, compact and completely functional and useful. I have not tried it yet myself (appreciated all the helpful reviews) and will test it out on a fishing trip, but plan on stashing the sets I purchased in our bug out bags.

This is my first solid fuel cook set. I tested it out and it works as expected. Super nice product and at just 7 oz (total) it is super lightweight! It took about 8-10 minutes to boil 16 oz of water and the tablet burned for about 16 minutes total, so it kept my coffee warm also (I used the pot as my coffee cup). If you are looking for a super lightweight basic cook set, this is inexpensive and simple to use, especially for shorter duration excursions.

I've wanted this stove for months. It appears to be a great design. Don't be fooled to think it is set up, however, to be multi-fuel ready. It is only set up for fuel tablets.

Small and light enough to carry. Holds just enough water for a meal and coffee. Works great with the ESBIT solid fuel tabs. Cant ask for more from a lightweight easy to use item.

The Esbit Cookset is great for the main task of heating water for cooking and drinking. Simple, light weight and right to the point of utility. Its outstanding for backpacking and hiking and designed for efficient heating.
Only con would be to design a version with a larger cup 750ml to allow you to use water for food and hot beverage.

This little kit performs well. Brings water to a boil with less than one Esbit fuel tablet. Like any stove, keep it out of the wind and use a lid on your pot for best results.

This is an all-in-one Esbit solution for boiling a 16 oz. cup of di-hydrogen oxide... i wish campsaver would offer the Esbit alcohol version, but was able to Dremel off the Esbit pan and use this cookset (compatible w/Coleman's Exponent Solo anodized cookset) with a 'half-penny' alcohol stove - as anyone knows, hexamine is messy, smelly, and a PITA to clean up! This cookset would be *perfect* if E

I use this stove for weekend trips where I just heat water for mashed potatoes or ramen noodles-works very well for this. The supplied pot cleans easily and heats up better than an esbit tab on the stell esbit folding stove, better windscreen. Looking for someting like this for a while!

The Esbit Cookset is so compact that it fits in my hand. I throw it in my daypack when I patrol the forest on weekends. It's the perfect size for a cup of coffee or soup on the trail. It works for small-size dehydrated food preparation too. The entire kit fits inside the cooking pot. The cookset is a little heavier than titanium kits, but for price you can't beat it. The stove uses Esbit fuel

This stove has potential, but is flawed in several respects. First, you *will* need to use a windscreen to achieve a boil. Second, the stand fails to provide adequate height for flames to achieve max heat of the small 16 oz. pot. Third, the Esbit tab holder is riveted to the bottom of the stand, ensuring a real mess and difficulty in cleaning. My first problem solution was to fashion a windscreen
