WTB esbit stove

Looking to purchase for cheap or possibly trade for an esbit stove. Looking for the folding type not the flimsy stamped single sheet metal type. Have some a ration type things for trade or can purchase if the price is low enough. Don't own much currently but working on getting a decent set together for video reviews. Thanks.

Check eBay. Type in British esbit stove I think. But I know they run about $10 for the current UK military esbit stove like the one in the pics below. I've been told Walmart carries them in the camping section also. Hope this helps.

I guess I can't link to amazon, but search for esbit stoves

The esbit brand stove costs $11 shipped. The Coghlan's Brand is $6 and is an add-on item.

Thanks all for the replies. Didn't even think to check Walmart. That's the only store near me at all so I'll take a look there. Wish I had a surplus store nearby but alas I do not. I live in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, I'd send you mine, but shipping alone would be more than what you can get them new for at Walmart. They're around $5 there

Didn't realize they could be had for that cheap. You're right. It would cost me more to send a trade item than buy one. Just wanted it for boiling water for freeze dried rations. Trying to get all the stuff together to start video reviews and doing so on a tight limited budget. Thanks again for the Walmart tip.

If your local Walmart doesn't have one, let me know. Otherwise, best of luck to you and your reviews!
