So after spending hundreds of dollars on multiple top of the line white gas and iso-propane stoves, I've decided that I'm now interested in trying out the good ol' esbit folding pocket stove. It's only 3 oz! I got to thinking; all I do in the backcountry is boil water. I don't need a stove that can simmer or anything fancy like that, just one that can boil water. With that being said, the esbit should not only save me a bunch of money, but a lot of weight. Only thing is, I have NO experience with esbit tabs/stoves. Are they just as efficient at boiling water for one for a dehydrated meal and a hot drink as the MSR or Snowpeak stoves? I use a snowpeak trek 900 cookset, so that should have no problem sitting on the folding pocket esbit stove. Please, enlighten me on the esbit thing. Thanks.
