Double use: Why to use a carbon fiber windscreen with your Esbit stove
A windscreen of equal size made from titanium foil weighs about 7 to 9 grams. The carbon fiber option shown here weighs 23 grams. So why should an UL hiker consider to use a carbon fiber windscreen, even though it’s three times the weight? [...]

Gyga-goes gaps: How to fit gas canister and burner into the MSR Reactor 1 liter pot

You can still find reviews of the MSR Reactor on the Internet that say, a 100 ml gas canister and the burner will fit inside the 1 Liter pot. Some that have been in the market for an compact cooking system may have chosen a JetBoil instead – unnecessarily. Gas canister and burner both fit well inside the 1 Liter pot together.
