{"product_id":"esbit-alcohol-burner-and-trekking-cookset","title":"Esbit Alcohol Burner and Trekking Cookset","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Esbit Alcohol Burner and Trekking Cookset is a compact, self-contained cooking system built for backpackers and trekkers who want a lightweight, multi-fuel-capable setup without carrying separate cookware and stove components. The kit pairs two hard-anodized aluminum pots with a brass alcohol burner and a solid fuel tablet base, all nesting inside the larger pot for a single, packable unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Kit, Two Fuel Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Esbit Alcohol Burner and Trekking Cookset ships with both an alcohol burner and a base designed for Esbit solid fuel tablets, giving a trekker two distinct heat sources in a single kit. Alcohol burns cleanly and is widely available; solid fuel tablets are compact and reliable in cold or wet conditions where liquid fuel can be harder to manage. Carrying both bases adds negligible weight and means a backup heat source is already packed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVariable Temperature Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass alcohol burner includes a fold-away handle that regulates or extinguishes the flame without removing the pot. A screw top and rubber gasket seal the burner for transport, preventing spills and evaporation when the kit is stowed. The fold-away handle provides a level of flame control that lets a cook simmer rather than just boil, which matters when preparing anything beyond instant meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHard-Anodized Aluminum Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pots are made from hard-anodized aluminum, a material chosen for its combination of low weight and efficient heat transfer. Hard anodizing also produces a surface that resists corrosion and abrasion better than standard aluminum, which extends the useful life of cookware that sees regular backcountry use. The hinged, stainless steel, silicone-coated grips on each pot stay cool enough to handle and fold flat against the pot wall when nesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e985 ml main pot:\u003c\/strong\u003e hard-anodized aluminum with volume markings in ml and oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e470 ml pot\/lid:\u003c\/strong\u003e doubles as a lid for the larger pot and as a second cooking or eating vessel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrass alcohol burner:\u003c\/strong\u003e screw-top closure with rubber gasket, fold-away flame-control handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid fuel tablet base:\u003c\/strong\u003e included alongside the alcohol burner for a second fuel option\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull nesting system:\u003c\/strong\u003e pot stand, alcohol burner, and solid fuel base store inside the 985 ml pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh storage bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e included for carrying the complete assembled kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLarge Pot Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e985 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSmall Pot \/ Lid Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e470 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePot Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHard-anodized aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGrip Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel, silicone-coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAlcohol Burner Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e985 ml pot, 470 ml pot\/lid, pot stand, alcohol burner, solid fuel tablet base, mesh bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Esbit Alcohol Burner and Trekking Cookset suits backpackers, trekkers, and ultralight campers who want a complete, nesting cook system that supports two fuel types in one compact package. The two-pot configuration handles solo cooking and works for a pair sharing simple meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eSolid fuel tablets are not included. The base accommodates Esbit tablets, which are sold separately. The set does not include a canister gas burner or any pressurized fuel components, so buyers who rely exclusively on canister gas will need a different stove system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat fuel does the alcohol burner use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe alcohol burner in the Esbit Trekking Cookset is designed for denatured alcohol or similar liquid alcohol fuels. It is not a canister gas burner. The kit also includes a separate base that accepts Esbit solid fuel tablets, which are sold separately, giving the user a second fuel option without carrying additional stove hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre solid fuel tablets included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Esbit Alcohol Burner and Trekking Cookset includes the base that holds Esbit solid fuel tablets, but the tablets themselves are sold separately. The alcohol burner is included and ready to use with liquid alcohol fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does everything pack down?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe pot stand, alcohol burner, and solid fuel tablet base all nest inside the 985 ml pot. The 470 ml pot serves as a lid over the assembled stack. The complete kit then stores in the included mesh bag, keeping all components together in a single, compact unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan I control the flame output of the alcohol burner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The brass alcohol burner on the Esbit Trekking Cookset includes a fold-away handle that adjusts or extinguishes the flame, providing variable temperature control that most simple alcohol stoves lack. A screw top with a rubber gasket seals the burner when not in use to prevent fuel evaporation or spills during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat are the pot grips made of, and do they stay cool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eBoth pots in the Esbit Trekking Cookset have hinged grips made from stainless steel with a silicone coating. The silicone coating provides heat insulation for handling. The grips fold flat against the pot wall when the set is nested for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esbit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50697582411846,"sku":"E-CS985HA","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/original-E-CS985HA_NA_P_1-sq.jpg?v=1792635083","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/esbit-alcohol-burner-and-trekking-cookset","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
