I was influence by the Vargo Bot ;-)
It has 24oz capacity. Made of light weight stainless steel. Added/welded a little piece to the lid so I can suspend it over a twiggy fire. Added a ridge line so I can use the windscreen as a trivet once the pot is removed from campfire coals. I use a stainless steel windscreen to surround the esbit stove. A Ti BGET is used to burn the esbit efficiently.
Something interesting occurs when the Z-Bot has been filled with water, lid is firmly screwed on and then turned upside down. Only 3-4 drops of water drip out the large hole in the lid and then no more water comes out unless Bot is shaken vigorously.
I plan to use one end of a band aide to cover the lid hole when transporting water in it. Good container to cold soak rice, beans etc. The lid has an excellent silicon seal.

Nov 12, 2018 at 12:58 pm #3563689It was a fun project. 1 esbit boils 2 cups. Calm conditions, 45 degree water start temp. Didn’t care how long it took to get the boil. I was sippin hot chocolate while waiting for the test to progress :-)

Will you be selling these? Or if not, can you share the source for the container? Oh and how much does it weigh?
Thanks Dan!
Nov 20, 2018 at 10:05 pm #3565082I have put together several kits but came to a standstill due to so many things going on in life. My computer “c” drive is 99.9% filled and can’t load videos. Every time I delete stuff, windows comes in and updates and blahblahblah :-( Black Friday……..gotta get a new laptop ;-))))
Weight? have not weighed the Bot
I do have 5 Stainless steel Vargo Bots that I will be selling as soon as I can find the time. I think I have some Titanium Bots also.
