Dang, it changed my life! Thanks Ernie...…...
That is SO similar to the ZEN Camps stand you recently reviewed, which is only $20 on Amazon as I write. I have the Zen and it's awesome!
Pretty sweet. I'm still looking to do the alcohol thing for the first time. I'm thinking of starting as cheap as possible, so DIY'ing a couple of beer cans is the way to go. I already bought the heet fuel. Today is the day!
My life is changing already... thanks Dr. Ernie!
Looks good and isn't expensive compared to many stands. I feel that the Clickstand burner stand is the ultimate triangle style stand, it will except Trangia Alcohol burner, Trangia gas burner, Evernew Titanium Burner with wire adapter and solid fuel tabs with an adapter plate. Comes in stainless or Titanium versions and the most import thing is the wind shield that sits on the corners of the triangle which is unique as far as I know with triangle type stands.
I really appreciate you doing a review of that little pot stand. I'm a fan of several of the Esbit products, own several of them. I might have to add that one to my collection 👍. As far as the Trangia goes, well, it was my first ❤. Me and Trangia, we're still going strong after decades.
I bought this stand a couple years ago and really like it. This spring I found that my trangia kept slipping out of the side slots while I was cooking. I just put the stove on the ground and used the Esbit as a pot stand. Worked great. This is a great piece of lightweight kit.
I picked up the firebox nano, in stainless. Ill stick with that one. It holds my trangia ever so sweetly.
I press the Trangia burner just like you pressed the solid fuel plate in. To snuff the Trangia burner, while on a table or on the ground, press on the 3 edges and it will safely fall to the surface. Lift the stand off and cover the flame. I used this setup every day for 4 weeks hiking on the AT and it was awesome.
It would have been interesting to see if one Esbit would boil a pint of water. I’ve never got it to do that. It appears it would have. If so that is truly amazing. Another thought is does it increase the efficiency of the burn with alcohol stoves. Pot diameter would likely be a factor. Also a wind screen would probably decrease boil time. Any decrease in heat time equates to fuel consumption to a point. I’ve found that sometimes the decrease in boil time is actually due to increased fuel consumption due to the stove getting hotter and volatizing the alcohol producing a larger flame. The true measure is rate of consumption compared with boil time.
It's easy to boil water quickly with 1 Esbit tab... break the tablet in two (along the scored mark) and stand the two halves upright, like two towers. The increase of surface area means your water should boil around 5 minutes.
Solid esbit stove. The flexibility is great.
There is a difference between the Trangia and Esbit stoves, check the jet (hole) pattern..
And Trangia have their version its called the Trangia Triangle.
I love this esbit titanium I ended up finding on eBay for 68 dollars I love it takes me 1.5 cubes to get a rolling boil in approx 7 minutes .
Great review my friend, thank you for sharing. All the best to you and your family. 🤗
Awesome Ernie thanks for sharing
If your using solid fuel tablets nothing beats the little titanium stove esbit sold years ago. Got mine about 15 years ago when REI closed them out. I think I paid around $5. My stove plus foil windscreen weighs less than an ounce. You can also just use your fuel tab in a cat food can and get about the same results but it's not as cool looking.
Man i was fixing to whip out my wallet and sell my house...still a nice piece of kit.
I bought one specifically to be used as a pot stand for my trangia burner.
I found the same thing same set up but unbranded on Ebay for only £14.99
Great demonstration, thanks!
There is even a smaller and lighter stand (made from titanium) which can be used for esbit or alcohol stoves but unluckily you cannot fix it at your belt 😜 ... I mean the Toaks Pot Support for STV-01, ID:FRM-02
Esbit (or Hexamine, what's the chemical name) is maybe one of the most underestimated fuels. You don't need bottles or cartouches with their extra weight but can put it just in a ziplock bag (and such you can carry also just the required quantity and volume and don't have to carry a complete gas bottle for just a cup of hot water), the tablets are waterproof, it is of similar burning value like alcohol, and usually you don't get problems to carry it with you on a plane if you keep it in the checked luggage. You don't even need necessarily a stove if you want to use Esbit - just put three tent pegs in the ground as pot stand, or use three stones, the Esbit tablets in between, voila ...
And yes, it might be extremely difficult or even impossible to get gas refills in so many places. Esbit is also not everywhere available, but you can usually bring it yourself, what is often not possible with gas. Alcohol is everywhere available - every pharmacy on earth has medical spirit in stock, what is usually highly concentrated ethanol and works with all alcohol stoves.
As you say, alcohol stoves are more reliable as you can refill them anywhere, Esbit cubes have great utility, very reliable, very light, don't need a container - but they DO smell. Their smell & residue are their drawbacks.
@@darthkek1953 I am mainly using the Heximine Cubes of the UK Military (meanwhile they are using a paste instead of Hexamine but one can still get their old stock) and found out, that my ziplock bags do effectively block the bad smell. The residue can be easily removed by using steel wool and tooth powder (I'm using tooth powder anyway, so I use it also to clean my pots and pans). The UK Hexamine cubes are available on eBay for half of the price of original Esbit and I could not find any disadvantage using that old stock compared to brand new Esbit.
But if I plan to use a stove indoors (e.g. for preparing a meal in a hotel room) I definitely use alcohol, mostly in my M41 Swiss Army Notkocher or in a self made beer can stove. That doesn't stink so much and isn't so bad for health compared to Esbit.
Esbit creates not only bad smell but also poisonous gases whiles burning and should better not be used in closed rooms, even if they are ventilated, but for outdoor uses it is simply great. I use it also often to start my charcoal when I'm in the mood for bbq ;-)
@@bangalorebobbel LOL funny you should say that, I got a Vargo Titanium grill, the one designed for 4 BBQ bricks, and lighting that on an exposed hill was VERY difficult.
@@darthkek1953 Well, you could try it again - one Esbit cube should do it ... ;-)
It’s the same as others, except it’s got a tab placement instead of competition which has trangia mount
Great Video i did not know that you can take Fuel Tablets on a play interesting i did take the fuel gel on the play with all or the documents. Shall look into it for Air Canada.Thanks Again Dave From Labrador City,Labrador Canada
Well I can see one con and that is being able to use the simmer ring.
Looks like a Clickstand knock off. I got a titanium Clickstand years ago and later replaced it with the Titanium Firebox nano gen 2 stove,. The Nano lets me have a duel service burner , wood or alcohol. Plus propane if I ever want to go that route. I use my Evernew titanium alcohol burner in the Nano in place of the Trangia to save weight.
Very similar, but a lower cost alternative, to the Trangia Triangle or the Bushbox Ultralight.
No longer available on Amazon. Darn, I was really looking forward to changing my life.
And may never return
You could try it with another stove on Amazon - all stoves have the potential to change lives. Each one in his own way of course, so if you keep on purchasing, your life will change as often as you want!
GREAT DOC
Do you just let the esbit cube burn out, or how do you extinguish the cube?
You can let it burn out, if you wish but why waste it ? Blow it out or smother it. They are reusable. Put the half used one in a pill bottle to carry.
I appreciate all the alcohol stove videos. I've always used MSR stove for camping, which are awesome, however I would like to get into alcohol stoves as well. Any thoughts on the different types of fuel for the alcohol stoves?
At home you should buy Bio-Ethanol Fuel from EBay, it's basically corn alcohol with a bitterant to prevent alcoholics getting drunk cheap; out in the wilds buy Heet yellow (USA) or Meths (UK), other countries have similar products.
@@darthkek1953 thanks for the info!
Just discovered your channel interested in light weight kit for the motorbike and bicycle here in Australia. Love your precise and to the point reviews. Great presentation.
Was looking at something like this to replace the Trangia full setup as it is more sturdy and light. You mentioned it may need a wind screen. Do you think it can function well enough with out one?
Really cool! I think they may have discontinued this stand?
again available...

I would have liked to see how it works with the simmer ring
Currently sells for over $60 on Amazon.
The Trangia and Esbit alcohol burner have indeed the same rim diameter. The Esbit is about 1/8'' deeper on the bottom. When I ordered the Esbit, I was assuming it was made in Germany. No such luck, as it's Chinese. They may have saved some money upfront, making them in China, but now the market is flooded with cheap Chinese Trangia clones.
If I'm going to use my Trangia/Esbit burner then I like the flexibility of using the simmer ring. Does it fit? I am guessing there is not enough space for the simmer ring to swivel...
Bet it could be a improv twig stove
Not too many General Tire stores on Van Isle. Maybe Canadian Tire? Nice video, just nitpicking.
Have you tried the alcohol stoves with the Expedition Research stove?
That stand is almost 90 bucks... way to expensive. That's Amazon price. Internet search and seen it for 230 bucks. WTH, I have the Trangia same exact one for 25 bucks and I thought that was to much. I just need the esbit dish. Keep the vids coming.
Doc, you this many stoves in the house?
Is esbit trying to be the big iron on your hip? Kind of a Lone Chef situation?
@Kyledindunuffin never heard that, but sort of makes sense? The one tim I burned hexamine, the wind blew it away. I only got a whiff (it does stink) because I was downwind.
I'll stay with my firebox nano , it's will burn wood ,charcoal , fuel, esbit,....... but I hope you enjoy your stove, get outdoors and relax.
Looks a bit too small to work with the simmer ring...
It's the same size...
Expedition research stove and tablets are the best. Check it out...
No alcohol stove is a life changing stove, unless you want to burn the forest down. They are sometimes banned where I live.
Discontinued Item
As others say, looks like a “click stand”.
It's a massive fail. Why? Because you can't use a simmer ring. If you just want to boil water just get something more efficient like a jet boil.
Quite a good point...
Click stand, Trangia Triangle, Esbit has just copied them.
Trangia Triangle is much better than this one...
Why would you need to support something like a cat food can.......unless you're going to eat cat food.
General Tire?!?!? Canadian tire. It's kind of a Canadian icon.
This looks like a clone of the Trangia stand, made to fit a clone of a Trangia stove. I'll stick with the people who put in the effort .
Looks like a ripoff to the Trangia Triangle
Are you serious? Or joking?
Just a Firebox wannabe.
If you're asking whether a hiking stove can 'change your life' then frankly you need to 'get a life'!
With all due respect, if a very ordinary stove is capable of changing your life, the quality of your life must have been remarkably low!
