I was wondering what to do for supper, so I decided now was as good a time as ever to test my pocket stove and fix a meal.
Here is the stove, available on Amazon for $7.20. I keep the stovc in an outside pocket of my BOB, so it is a "Pocket Stove" I guess:

I took half a bag of Mountain House Beef Stew and put in a stainless steel cup, and filled about 85% with water.
I used one fuel tablet, which brought the stew to piping hot, bubbling a little but not a rolling boil.
Well, it was a nice meal! Not bad at all for freeze dried stew. I was completely satisfied (to my surprise) and the stove worked just like expected. I figure that outside with a little wind, or in cold weather, you may need more than one fuel tablet.
For a dirt cheap piece of equipment, I have no complaints at all.
