Esbit Alcohol Burner

Brass construction with screw top lid and rubber gasket. Flame regulator with fold-away handle to extinguish flame. Variable temperature control. A lightweight alternative to a liquid gas or canister stove. Works with denatured alcohol only. Denatured alcohol is easy to find and cheaper to use than alternatives. Alcohol stoves are the stove of choice for ultralight and long-distance backpackers. There are no moving parts or burners to wear out or break. Just fill it and light it. It can be used alone providing you have some sort of pot support with you. Some ultralighters use tent stakes to support the pots to save weight.
