      Comments about Esbit Solid Fuel Cubes - 12 Tablets:

      I bought these to use with a canteen stove for hot coffee or soup while hiking and to keep in my ditty bag as a firestarter when nothing else would work. Boiled a little more than a cup in breezy conditions in about 8-10 minutes. Easy to use, but left a little residue. Might work better with an Esbit stove - but the canteen cup stove worked OK. Cooked dinner on the liquid fuel stove, but had a cup of coffee thanks to the fuel tablets while the Boy Scouts were still unpacking gear and and setting up for dinner. Can't spill a fuel tab and hard to beat as a back-up fuel.

      Comments about Esbit Solid Fuel Cubes - 12 Tablets:

      This fuel burns wet or dry. One cube boils 2 cups of H2O. With fold up Espit stove(weight only 3 oz.) you can add twigs that will ignite well and reduce fuel needed. Cubes are lightweight. Fuel leaves slight sticky residue on pot so bring a plastic bag to keep pot in or wash well after each use.

            Comments about Esbit Solid Fuel Cubes - 12 Tablets:

            I highly recommend using the Esbit brand tabs in your Esbit style stove. They seem to burn a bit cleaner and hotter than the generic ones (tri, hex, etc.) You just can't go wrong with these.

              Day trips. Mostly for noon meals and hot drink at noon. Sometimes over night if I get caught out after dark .

                  If your motorbike isn't a Gold Wing or the like you can probably carry more camping gear in an expedition size backpack than you can pack on a bike after a change of clothes, raingear, tools, spare parts, oil, etc. Ultralight and ultracompact are very important. I've made boiling hot coffee with temps in the 20's motorcycle camping on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Smokies with these. Yeah, yer darn right it was cold on the scoot! Can you say WIND CHILL! (Without your teeth chattering?)

                    Worked as advertised. I didn't even buy the stand to put the pot on - 2 level rocks did just fine. These did boil 2 cups of water in about 7 minutes. Carrying 8 of these on my weekend backpacking trip was a lot lighter and more space efficient that using liquid fuel canisters and the stove to mount on it. These lit in just a few seconds. Now a regular part of my gear.

                        Yes, but they most likely will not last long enough to be reusable. It takes at least fifteen minutes for one cube to boil simply one liter of water.
