Outdoor Pocket Micro Stove EDCBox

A great little tool. Well machined, simple to assemble and so small. I was initially quite skeptical about its capability given the size. Popped a mess tin on top of it with one single cube of Esbit solid fuel.... Water to the boil in 7 minutes on the one cube which was more than enough for a cuppa.Keep one in my work bag alongside two fuel tablets. One to make a brew, one to heat a tin of soup or ready meal kit.

The wife got me this for Christmas and was rather worried that she had made a mistake, in that when it was delivered in a jiffy bag no bigger than a pack of cards. When I opened this on Christmas day I could not stop laughing as it's a MICRO stove just big enough to sit my Ti mug on, the power of this little thing blew my socks off, it will boil 300 Ml of water in 4 mins which is pretty good going for any stove let alone JetBoil.The wood I use is Fatwood or tinder sticks as these burn hot with a pleasant pine smell as well as Hexy blocks the best to use are Esbit but the cheaper round Hexi blocks work just as well it's just that these a round in shape unlike Esbit that are rectangular and fit the stove as if they were made for it.The fit and finish are beyond reproach as this is a German stove and you get a set of instructions that work for all sizes of pocket stoves ranging from this size to the Outdoor XL .All in all very well impressed and have ordered the Pocket version as well which is more in size wise to my Emberlit Ti which I use almost daily, roll on the office cookout, just watch for your desk being singed as these do get warm underneath enough to singe grass, so I've used an old plumbers mat and cut it to size..Happy cooking

It has arrived and despite knowing the size - I was surprised at how small it packs down to. Fits straight into pouch for EDC. Anyway - it is not a gimmick and is a real stove. Made of steel, it is tough and will hold a canteen cup on the cross stove top. My only gripe - if it is one - is seeing how small and simple it is - the price for it seems a bit too dear for the materials involved. A price < £5.00 would seem more appropriate. I would definitely like to buy a few more now - but will wait to see if the price can fall a bit, as the wood gas burners all did. It is real - and suitable to have at any time as it will not take up any space in your kit. Recommended item :-)

It may be dinky a little stove but it is easy to assemble and simple to use.The build quality is fantastic and the attention to detail by the designer is ace - the ability to link all items onto a small caribena is very useful.The stove is designed to be used either a wood burner or a solid fuel (esbit tablet) stove, although you can also use a small alcohol burner in there too. Practically the stove works best with a solid fuel tablet as in wood burning mode it does require constant feeding with small bits of wood. The only way to do this, is to use something like a pair of pliers unless you have fireproof fingers.

Very well made, you will not be disappointed. Added bonus was the little carry case it comes in.

Good performance,great design!

Surprisingly effective micro stove. Due to its small size, works better with hexamine or esbit tablets than wood. Easy to assemble and disassemble. Fits in my fire kit pouch, along with flint and steel. Can bring a 750ml kettle full of water to a boil, or cook a fry up on a 6 inch cast iron pan pretty easily. Good for EDC and back up use, but I carry a larger wood burner, such as a Honey Stove Ti or Folding firebox when backpacking. Can be used with tea candles as an improvised camp lantern.

Really happy.. Great t build quality and lightweight. Its small but usable. Use with either twigs or fuel pellets. A*
