It seems like esbit may have a few advantages over alcohol stoves:
- lighter weight fuel
- easier to light in cold temps
- less trash
Disadvantages seem to be:
- toxic smoke
- sticky mess on bottom of pot
- availability of fuel cubes along the AT?
2 questions:
1. why did you or didn't you use an esbit stove on your thru hike?
2. If you used esbit for a thru hike, what was your setup?
