I see an esbit stove as more of a pretty stable pot stand then anything else. My biggest gripe with most small stoves is that they are not real stable.

I bought a magic heat stove at a tool show. Takes over half an hour to heat soup. It looked like a good set up on the box, but it's basicly an oil candle in a stove.

Went to buy a coleman dual fuel but all our wal-marts have gutted thier camping gear in favor of more conventional sports gear like baseballs and physical fitness gear.

Trouble with Wal-Mart stores is they track their inventory quite closely these days. If your store isn't selling enough of a product? Then they're going to choose not to sell it in the store. This combined with Wal-Mart's new practice of every 24-32 months "renovating" each store makes life difficult for people who're accustomed to going to Wal-Mart and finding the same thing they have been finding there for 30 years.
