By Stephen RegenoldInvented in 1936, and applied toward the heating of water and food for millions of campers and backpackers since, the Esbit solid fuel tablet is a compact and quick alternative heat source to white gas and cartridge-based camp stoves. The tablets -- based on a chemical compound called hexamethylenetetramine -- ignite at the touch of a match and burn a near-invisible blue flame for 15 minutes a pop.I have replica Omega 1514.20 watch employed Esbit tablets as firestarters, the tiny chemical bricks working as a guaranteed flame to light leaves or dead sticks in a hurry as the base of a roaring campfire to come. For heating water and soup, I use the companys classic Esbit Pocket Stove, a $10 foldable shell of galvanized steel that resembles an animal trap.
Simply unfold the stove, insert a tablet, set a pot on top, and light.Convenience and weight savings -- not heat output or performance -- are the main advantages to most items Esbit makes. The parent company, Esbit Compagnie GmbH of Hamburg, Germany, does not project cutting-edge innovation in its line of pots, stoves, cups, lids, and chemical tablets. Its products -- distributed in the United States by AGS Labs () of Dallas, Texas -- are for the most part , with few or no moving parts, zero mechanical components, and replica Omega 4617.31.02 watch nothing much to fail.For all these reasons, plus the cheap price, I am a fan of the Pocket Stove for ultra-light wilderness trips. On the downside, there is no temperature adjustment or heat regulation -- the tablets burn at one steady temp until theyre done.
