QuickStove Portable Cook Kit

The stove itself is a larger version of the Esbit type stoves. It opens a little wider than the usual small folding stoves, but will also adjust to a smaller opening to accommodate smaller pans, or cups. I've used solid fuel pellets, a Trangia alcohol stove, and a one inch copper pipe cap filled with alcohol, to cook meals, or boil water. All of these fuels provided good cooking results. I would suppose you could also burn bio-fuels like twigs or leaves, although I haven't tried that yet. The pan that comes with the stove is a great size, and with its lid on, boils water, and cooks food very efficiently. The kit also included a hockey puck shaped wood and wax fuel pellet. I haven't used this yet, but it looks like if cut into quarters, each quarter would cook a meal. There was also a sample food packet of dehydrated food. I haven't tried that either, because I just put it into my emergency bug out bag, to use later, if necessary. All in all, this is a great cooking kit, and I would heartily recommend it for camping, power failures, or as part of a car emergency kit. I live in Southern California, so I could be trapped on the freeway if we ever have the big earthquake we're over due for. I remember pictures of the last quake where cars were trapped on overpasses, and I take comfort in the fact that if that happens to me, at least I can cook a meal while waiting for rescue.

I was looking for an emergency stove and the QuickStove fit the bill perfectly. The kits 8s great. The pot is a good size and very well made. I like that the QuickStove and fuel packs neatly fit inside. The stove works great and is adaptable for various size pots. It’s veru usual that it can accommodate fuel packs and alcohol burners. I haven’t tried to burn sticks it it yet, but so far I’m really liking this product. Well done and reasonably priced.

This is a great design. The stove actually has 3 positions for different sized pots. It’s well constructed and built like a tank so, it’s a bit on the heavy side. I want to give the whole package 5 Stars, I really do. The pot is also very nice. The lid fits both ways so it’s also a small double boiler. You’ll need some sort of handle in order to use the lid as a small frying pan but it makes a nice plate/ shallow bowl. The stove (with 2 cedar fuel rounds) nests inside and the pot handle latches(?) it all in place. ***They even included a 2.4 oz package of Wise Chili Macaroni. I’ve never tried any Wise products so I’m looking forward to this. Nice touch giving me a meal. Thank you

I purchased this for car camping. Wanted something compact and simple - didn't want to fool around with bottled fuel. Wanted a stove that boiled water quickly for coffee, tea and dehydrated (MRE style) meal pouches. Purchased extra compacted fuel discs to go with it. Worked GREAT, boiled 2 cups of water in less than 10 minutes. Easy for store when not in use, easy to clean. Make sure the surface it is placed on is level. I found 1/2 disc of fuel was plenty for morning coffee or heating enough water for a meal pouch. For single camping it beats lugging a big BBQ or propane system.

For easy car camping, this stove is fantastic. In combination with the fuel pucks, which last about 30 minutes, cooking is made easy. Sturdy enough to hold the pot, which is good sized with no problems. The pot itself is impressive as well. thick bottom to hold heat

The stove is sturdy and fits nicely into the pot. The handle locks firmly over the lid keeping everything secure; don't have to worry about it popping open in my pack. The only thing that could make it better would be if the handle could lock in the down position making it easier to pour out of, but it's not that big of an issue is you use gloves/oven mits as others have suggested. Overall it's a good kit.

This QuickStove is the best thing ever! It should be part of every camper's stash and every survivalist should acquire it. Recently went camping for 5 days and we used it so much. Everything from heating up coffee in the AM to making full on meals on it. The cook part folds up like a cube, is solid enough to hold a 10" cast iron skillet and can be configured to accommodate various sized items. The cook part fits nicely inside the pot with lid - the lid folds over the whole deal like a cute, little package. It came with a couple of cedar waxed fuel disks which are also pretty great in their own right. But you can also use various other forms of fuel with the cook part. The pot with lid, we also used quite a bit. It is sturdy in design, takes the heat, is easy to clean - and again, since it holds the cook part and is more or less self contained, it means you have to carry less stuff. This setup might be too heavy for a weight conscious back packer to carry, but everyone else should buy it. LOVE THIS THING!

This little stove is solid and reliable. The cookset is nice quality and a good value. Bonus for the ability to use multiple fuel sources, including wood. The only thing I would add for wood burning would be an ash plate for the bottom, but just cut a thick piece of tin. The folded stove will hold two of those hockey puck sized wood /resin fuel tablets, along with a bic lighter or small ferro rod. The folded stove packs neatly in the pot. The handle on my pot wasn't soldered on straight, so minus one star for a slightly irregular fit.
