I bought the Wetfire version, and found it to be worse than the Esbit I have used for years. You must use a smaller tea cup than I do, neither will boil the water here in FL. Both will do it at 10,000 plus feet, but that is not so much of a chore.
Jerry,
That little pot that you saw in the photos holds 2 cups just barely if you fill it to the brim (about 500ml). It can boil about 350 to 400 ml reasonably well. I didn't show it in my post, but I had a couple of other people with me on that outing. I had to refill and boil again in order to get enough water. The cup you saw me drinking out of was a Snow Peak Ti Sierra Cup. It comfortably holds 250ml although it can hold a bit more (300ml?).
I am enjoying your "stove of the week" very much. I am not much of a stovie(4 stoves in 40 years, two of them the same), but I enjoy learning about them.
Hey, no requirement to "join the club." Glad to hear that you're enjoying the posts. That's what they're there for. This is just my little project: to get my stoves out of their boxes in the attic and get them out and use them. This will stretch me since in order to post 52 unique stoves, I'm going to have to fettle (repair) several non-working stoves. Also helps me to remember just how many freaking stoves I really have. lol
