Hello
I have some Trioxane bars from the pre-1992 era. I save the flameless heaters for true emergencies. But what size of container will function best for a stove? I find the "yam can" size a bit large. I thought about a severed propane lantern tank. I have seen the little folding trays but worry about exposed flame when I cook on a fishing dock.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks

Good container for heating triox bars
What you use for a stove partially depends on what you're trying to cook with trioxane. I've only "cooked" water with trioxane before - either in a army canteen cup or in a small pot. For those uses, the esbit/folding stoves have worked just fine for me. Or in a pinch, a small hole in the ground also works great with trioxane.
If you were trying to cook something more than water and were using a bigger pan, I might worry about the stability of those folding stoves.

From my experience, those little stoves can hold quite a bit, so long as you dont wiggle it back and forth or anything. They might get looser with age, I don't know, but mine held a 2 qt pan w/ water in it.. it just takes forever to even get it hot.. hardly worth the effort.
Not very compact but serves many purposes, I use a Swiss Ranger Stove. They are very light weight.
