Pot ESBIT Cookset for solid fuel, Aluminium, 1 L, 314 g, Ø 15.7 cm, H 88 mm

The ESBIT Cookset for solid fuel is a compact 1 L aluminium pot designed for lightweight camping and short trips. Made of hard-anodized aluminium, the set weighs about 314 g and includes a pot, a foldable stand that stores inside the pot, and a lid with a hanger. It is intended for use with solid fuel tablets and offers additional internal space for storing packaged meals or small utensils.

Advantages
