OUTDOOR 2008: ESBIT 720 ML TITANIUM POT WITH LID PREVIEW

BACKPACKING / PREVIEWS

Esbit has been producing solid fuel for the outdoor minimalist since 1936.

72 years later, the company introduces an almost complete solo hexamine cooking system: A 720 ml titanium pot with a lid and a (very familiar) folding titanium solid fuel stove. Add a titanium foil windscreen and you’re good to cook fast and light.

WHAT’S NEW AND INTERESTING?

• 720 ml (24 fl oz) “cook in a cup” titanium pot
• titanium lid
• foldable handles
• 107 g (3.8 oz)

Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that being an Esbit-branded product, Europeans will most likely be able to get the pot at their local backpacking store selling the familiar Esbit tabs. No more trans-oceanic shipping charges and customs’ duties!
