Esbit

Pros

• Yeah, Esbit rocks! I don’t think in boils, just in making my food or morning coffee warm enough to enjoy. That usually takes a single 4g tablet for me.
• They are the lightest option, paired with a cone and I can set up my tent without worry while it's running. Easy to carry and store.
• Still use them when fire restriction don’t prevent use. Easy planning, light weight, simple camp practice.
• I still use esbit. It is the lightest and easiest option IMO.
• Yeah, I really like Esbit. I use it whenever the restrictions and trip logistics allow me to. I had a great time with it last year.

Cons

• They smell and leave residue on my pot. Id rather warm my food with my balls than use esbit.
• I just deal with the Esbit smell as part of the deal, just like I deal with the sticky black soot that it leaves on the bottom of the pot.
• The fuel used is Esbit. Esbit comes in 14 gram cubes.
• I would also switch from Esbit to alcohol, just bc the smell.
