For emergency use I keep this cookset, a few water bottles, and a few freeze dried meals in the back of my car, under the floor of the cargo area.
The cookset with lighter, stormproof matches in the pot and four esbit tablets are stored in the mesh bag with the tablets outside the stove so I don’t “flavor” the pot. A self made foil ground reflector is wrapped around the base kept inside the pot and a self made foil windscreen is wrapped around the outside of the outer bag. The wind screen is approx 6” dia and 6” high, with a cut out for the handles and holes punched half way around the bottom for airflow on the leeward side, with the handles. The 6” height of the windscreen helps make best use of all height produced by the tablet as the heat is kept close to the side walls of the pot as it exits out the top.
I have an almost identical cookset made by Bleuet that I keep in the back of another car. The Esbit set seems a little better made but the Bleuet cookset has a sliding door that closes over the opening in the base. In my tests I got better results with the door closed, rather than open, in all cases. If you are interested in using wood I would recommend getting the esbit cookset because it has a larger opening in the base to facilitate placing wood. I would also recommend using a pocket bellow like the one made by Epiphany Gear along with tinder that will produce flame for a while rather than just starting kindling with your lighter or match. For a better bushman than me this may not be necessary but it took me 20 minutes with dry wood to get 16 oz to boil in the Bleuet (did not try with Esbit cookset), almost constant use of the bellow and laying on the ground. I don’t plan to use wood again.
I fooled around with DIY alcohol burners but I like the one made by QiWiz which can also be used with esbit but I just use it with alcohol. It works better with the QiWiz included pot stand screen instead of the Esbit or Bleuet base but is less stable but will boil 16 oz water with 1 oz alcohol (I use Everclear 190 proof as I have it on hand for making limoncello - yeah pricey, but I rarely use alcohol).
When hiking or snowshoeing I use a QiWiz 4.5” high x 5.75” dia titanium windscreen (keep that heat close to the pot as it rises), and an approx 6”x6” flat ti ground reflector. I use esbit in the cookset base or alcohol in the QiWiz burner and screen pot support. If you are shaving grams buy the esbit folding ti stove (I have it too and it boils a little faster than with cookset base) and leave the cookset base at home but be sure to bring the windscreen and ground reflector.
The tablet burns with an all-or-nothing attitude and isn't really suitable for foods that require a simmer. Also bear in mind the condition under which it is used will effect the efficiency of the stove. High winds or subzero temperature can reduce the heat output. Tablets can be blown out and reused to conserve your fuel supply.
OK lets have a look at the set itself. Three parts go to make up the set 1, the 16oz pot with built in folding staycool handles. 2, the stove itself. And 3 a lid to cover the pot. The stove unit fits inside the pot and the lid rests on top. A mesh draw string bag is provided for storage. The whole thing is, in my opinion, up to the usual high quality standards I'm used to from Esbit. After long hard research on the net for compact stove for my BoB and/or SiP kit I settled on this one. The tablets have a very long shelf life if kept away from moisture (I've used 10 year old tablets without a problem) I decided against alcohol stoves because of the hassle of fuel storage but that was a personal choice. All in all I'm very happy with the stove and highly recommend it.
A few hints and tips.
1, Line the stove bottom with foil to reflect heat up and make clean up easier.
2, The bottom of the pot can be foil covered (dull side to the flame, shiny side to the pot) prevents the pot bottom from getting covered in fuel residue.
3, Save the plastic bags to wrap the stove section in before placing inside the pot for storage this is for sanitary reasons. REMOVE PLASTIC BAGS PRIOR TO USING STOVE SECTION.
4, You can get 9 14g fuel tablets plus 3 books of matches and a cut down plastic spoon inside the pot/stove and still close the lid for an all in one grab-and-go cook stove.
5, If what you're cooking requires stirring use a plastic spoon to avoid scratching the inside of the pot.
If you're looking for a camping cookset or something for your emergency kit this is a great choice.
