Since we have been discussing cooksets recently, Woot has a pretty cool little esbit style stove/pot combo for a decent price. Doubt it will last long though.

AGS Bleuet Cookset

Even comes with some fuel tabs...

Definitely a nifty unit, but I don't believe the listed weight - 0.7 oz. More likely 7 oz

Yeah, there's one on Amazon for $21.87 (free shipping) that looks identical except it has the Esbit name on it rather than Bleuet. The Amazon one lists the weight as 7oz. Don't know what the shipping charges at Woot are, but the Amazon one is probably a reasonable alternative price-wise if Woot sells out.

It *is* kind of a cute looking little stove/pot combo. But I will have to resist. I haven't even used the previous two stoves I bought. frown Collections, collections. I guess I could open up a mini-stove powered restaurant for refugees if the zombies ever come...

Shipping at Woot is $5 for your order no matter how much you buy! Note also that Amazon bought Woot a couple years ago; you can even buy from Woot with your Amazon log in.

You can save shipping by buying the stove set and a Maxpedition bottle holder to carry it in. cool

The stove might even be the same with different markings, but the Bluet fuel is a dud. Not even close to as good as real ESBIT. It doesn't seem to burn as hot, it doesn't burn as long or as clean and unlike ESBIT I found it almost impossible to light with a spark. I can't say I recommend the fuel, especially since it's no cheaper than the good stuff.

The stove looks great, though.
