I perform the test with the Trangia Spirit Burner in the Firebox Nano ultra light backpacking stove.

The classic original Firebox Stove and the ultralight backpacking Nano stove both run on gathered fuel. Provides a true to camping campfire ambience while cooking up your favorite camping meals over a wood flame!

Food always tastes better when it's cooked over a campfire and the Firebox stove makes that quick easy and No Trace!
The Firebox Stove folds flat making it easy to stow away for emergencies perfect for 72hour kits, bug out bags or vehicle emergency kits.
