Solid fuel tablets light easily, burn hot and store for years — a compact, foolproof way to boil water or cook when there's no gas and the weather's against you.
When you need to boil water or heat food off-grid, solid fuel tablets are about as simple and reliable as it gets. They light with a match even in wind and damp, burn hot and steady long enough to boil a mug of water, and store almost indefinitely without leaking or going off like gas or liquid fuel can. For a compact stove or a folding cooker, they're the fuel that just works.
They weigh little and pack flat, making them ideal backup fuel for a bug-out bag or a home kit for when the gas or power is off. No pressurised canister, no spillage — just a tablet, a flame and a pot.
Use them with a small folding stove or hexamine cooker to boil water and heat food when camping light, when a gas canister runs out, or during a power and gas outage at home. Burn them on a stove or a non-flammable surface with ventilation, shielded from wind, and never inside a tent or enclosed space.
Good tablets light readily and burn hot enough to boil water in a reasonable time. Look for reliable ignition even in cool, damp conditions.
Foil-wrapped tablets stay dry, don't crumble in a pack, and let you use just what you need without the rest degrading.
Solid fuel keeps for years without special care, which is exactly what you want from emergency and backup fuel.
Solid fuel gives off fumes. Never use them inside a tent, car or closed room — cook outdoors or in a well-ventilated space, ideally with a CO alarm nearby.
Wind steals the heat and wastes fuel. Use a stove with a shield or improvise one so the flame actually boils your water.
