Esbit 1300-Degree Smokeless Solid 14g Fuel Tablets for Backpacking, Camping, and Emergency Prep

The Esbit 1300-Degree Smokeless Solid 14g Fuel Tablets are an excellent option for backpackers, campers or as part of an emergency kit. While technically they can be used indoors during a power outage, the strong smell makes it less than ideal unless necessary. Each tablet burns for about 4 minutes, and the cubes produce a hot and long-lasting flame with a low footprint to save on weight. The tablets can be ignited using a fire steel/fire starter, but Fast Fire tinders work better with spark ignition. It has also been found that the product has a longer shelf life if vacuum sealed.

Pros

Lightweight and easy to carry for camping and backpacking
Produces a lot of heat for such a small size
Ideal for emergency kits
Burning cubes emit much less smoke than knock-off alternatives

Cons

Produces a strong smell
Cube size is small and requires at least two tablets to boil 16oz of water in light breeze
Tablets only burn for about 4 minutes each and may not be long-lasting enough for larger meals.
