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!

May, the cup is not mine, it’s made for Esbit. I doubt it’s pure Ti, but you could ask them directly.
