Anyone got an Esbit Cookset 585?

Quick question - will a small gas cart fit inside it or is it too narrow?

(trying to decide between this and a mytimug, to use occasionally with a gas burner and occasionally with solid fuel)

I have one, its a lovely little pot. Holds enough water to use in freeze dried meals and boils up water nicely. Fits great on my vango burner. I'll check in the morning for you to see if the small gas canisters fit inside. I have a little bag with the burner and spoon etc, which I pop inside the pot instead. I haven't used it with solid fuel yet but intend to pimp it and see how it works with a small meths burner.

I have added a plain silicon wrist band around the rim, which helps when drinking from it. At the time I bought it I was looking at more expensive ti options, but went for this (as a tight yorkshireman) and its great.

100g canister fits nearly perfectly. I am not sure if a stove fits in there, at least MSR Pocket Rocket does not (because it's too tall).

Yep, what PPP says. fits fine. Inverted it still doesn't have space for the stove (maybe a crux folding stove perhaps). Which is why I opted to put all my cooking bits and stove inside, and pop the canister in the rucksack instead.

Or gas canister and tea/coffee/lighter inside and stove outside :P.
