Emergency Stove

No thrills and whistles. A basic item that should be in any emergency kit. Comes with fire tablets but a small fire with wood chips also did the job. Super compact and lightweight. No more needs to be said.

What I love about this stove is the fact that it is so cheap and it can be used with various "fuels." Do note that the fuel tabs included do have a little bit of an odor and will leave some soot on the underside of what you cook in. That said, I was able to get 1.5 cups of water to a boil in under 5 minutes using my MSR aluminum cooking pot with 3 fuel tabs, and there was fuel left over. I was able to heat up water using their "fire sticks", although there was some soot left behind on the underside of my pot from doing that. That's the fuel being used in the photo. For $10, this is worth keeping in your car or a closet in the event of an emergency if you need to boil water or heat food or want a cheap entry-level stove for getting into camping.

Item appears as adverised. It’s made of thin sheet metal steel and has sharp edges. The kit does include a package of 24 fuel pucks. Quality control is poor. The stove I received arrived broken. One of the rivets holding the stove together arrived broken. BUYER BEWARE! Because this kit contains the fuel pucks, which are a hazardous material, Amazon does NOT accept returns for this product! This is intended to be used primarily during an emergency. So if you buy one of these stoves, be certain to open it an look at it when you get it. An emergency situation is NOT the time to discover that your equipment is broken! All of that said, I was able to easily repair my stove with a rivet. It can also be repaired with a bent nail. Works perfectly then. As far as performing as designed, HECK YES!! The original design of these was as an army stove. Smokeless heat. Fuel is completely consumed with no ash or traces left. If you’re not in a tactical environment, you can use this as a twig stove and just use a fuel puck to start the wood ablaze if you want to. First time I tried it, it quickly boiled a 7.5oz can of chili in less than a minute. The heat is not adjustable, of course, and is quite hot. It heats the bottom of the pot/can you have on it so you need to keep stirring. It will scorch the food on the bottom but leave the top cold if you don’t stir thoroughly. Extinguish the fuel puck easily simply by blowing on it like a birthday candle. Steel stove cools quickly so you can be ready to pack up almost immediately. Definitely belongs in every backpack, bug out bag, get home bag, emergency kit. ABSOLUTELY!! 3 thumbs up!

great compact survival stove, fuel tablets come in plain plastic bags though so youll need to put them in your own resealable baggies

One should know that the included burner tabs are limited in their use I boiled about a cup of water using three of them it did bring it to a rowing boil before they ended it is best to use additional pot fans to enhance the performance however what I did find is that if one uses an altoids-based alcohol stove inside the stove itself it will boil water and also act as a windscreen fantastic application. If one is looking for means to create set of alcohol stove The YouTube channel waypoint survival has excellent videos and examples of how to make an alcohol stove. Bruce may have a different opinion I think for $6 this was an absolute steal

This little stove is cool! When I took it out of the package, I noticed it was more substantial and sturdy than I thought it might be. Looks like it will last, and doesn't seem flimsy at all. I tried it out, using the included fuel tabs, and it worked fine. Easily adjustable for smaller or larger pots/pans. Nice that you can use alternative fuels with it too. Good thing to have on hand in these uncertain times. No matter what happens, you'll be able to heat your food, and it's small enough to store almost anywhere. Good buy!

We tried to use it as directed to heat water in a kettle...pot did not sit even, was shaky.. not good for sturdiness/safety.. No easy way to keep adding fuel source, as flame does not last long with white fuel source offered with item..just have to keep lifting pot off of the "stove".. We attempted to add little wood sticks to make fire warmer/higher/last longer..this did work better..but no catch for ashes, so we made sure to put foil under it first, to have a safe burning area..but still had to keep lifting pot off to add fuel source PROS White fuel bits are great fire starters Works ok for little campfire mode Good for a pinch if you have nothing else CONS Not very durable or steady with a pan/pot on it Cant use other fuel sources with it, like gel fuel or bio fuel, flame goes out,so left using sources that leave a mess below the cooker, with no "catcher" for debris (so we used aluminum foil to catch burn off No easy access, while cooking ,to add more fuel source to keep fire going Not bad-but not great Doable if you have nothing else, or want to cook marshmallows or hot dogs, or anything on a stick, but not my first go-to choice for a hiking/camping stove.

Fast shipping! Exactly as described! Great seller!

Muy pequeño para el costo,no es acero inoxidable, una ligera mojada y amaneció color rojo

I purchased this to be able to heat water in an emergency situation. It's very compact, so it doesn't take up a lot of space in an emergency kit. The solid fuel is also compact and easy to store. I feel more comfortable with that in my apartment than I would propane or other fuels. Hurricane Fiona gave me the opportunity to test it. The set up was easy. I used a lightweight pot with a tight fitting lid and ensured it was sheltered from wind (used it outdoors on my balcony). I had boiling water in 8 minutes with one fuel pod. Good for a cup of coffee or some instant noodles. The flame can be a bit high to start, but it wasn't problematic (just keep flammable objects away from the stove). It did blacken the bottom of my pot, but that washed off no problem. When the pod was extinguished, it left no residue. I was impressed with its performance. To be clear, this won't be the solution for everyone and you have to consider how you intend to use it and how big your family is to know whether it's the right option for you. For me, it was great. Very happy with this purchase.

da chiuso è compattissimo, si apre con semplicità, ed al suo interno custodisce 24 pastiglie di combustibile solido, e rimane ancora un poco di spazio per inserire qualche altra esca per il fuoco, io ci ho messo del cotone. Da aperto ha due posizioni di bloccaggio, quella intermedia non è solidissima, ma bisogna tenere conto che si rivolge a piccoli utensili da cottura, caffettiere, tazze e pentolini piccoli, poco pesanti quindi, che sorregge senza infamia e senza lode. Alla massima apertura ne beneficia la solidità e le pentole più larghe (e pesanti) trovano il loro posto. Tenete presente che si tratta di un fornello di emergenza, per una o due persone, non è indicato per cucinare per una comitiva. Il metallo di cui è fabbricato non è molto spesso, a beneficio del peso, e della possibilità di raffreddarsi rapidamente, ma è comunque commisurato in funzione dello scopo per cui è stato concepito

Serves the purpose, which is use as light weight stove for camping or emergencies. Light for BOB, would say it's OK.

Ho anche quello della Esbit più robusto con la giuntura dura ed efficace il metallo di qualità superiore.Questo,lo ho preso per il fatto che la larghezza consente anche di usarlo col combustibile sempre Coghlans, Camp heat in lattine .Metallo cagionevole e facile a scolorirsi e scopparsi col calore cerniera debole per i pentolini piccoli, meglio usarlo tutto aperto per pentole oltre 16 cm di diametro non all'altezza
