Mule Whisperer: As in they have a strong and unpleasant chemical odor. One cube lasts close to 10 minutes, and will bring 8oz of fresh water to a rigorous boil in 5 minutes. For storage, to keep the stink down, I double bagged these in Ziplock storage bags. Don’t store these cubes anywhere near things like clothes and other goods that tend to absorb smells. You’ll regret it if you do.

DJ63: Bei der Bundeswehr hatten wir auch so einen aufklapbaren Kocher, allerdings war der etwas kleiner. Wodurch man auch kleine Dosen leichter warm machen konnte, aber mit etwas tricksen, konnte ich eine Konservendose mit halb voll Wasser schnell zum Kochen bringen!

CORVUS: Stinken beim abbrennen noch genauso wie früher. Zum erwärmen der EPA aber immernoch gut. Lassen sich gut anzünden, sind minimal windstabil. Zum kochen hab ich die nie benutzt. Eignet sich auch gut als Anzünder in Outdoor-Situationen. Gerne wieder.

Marcel B.: Die Tabletten halten, was Sie versprechen und die Wärmeleistung ist 1A. Lediglich der Preis könnte noch ein wenig niedriger sein, denn die Konkurrenz ist genauso gut nur eben billiger.

Acquirente Amazon: Lo utilizzo da anni con il suo fornello piccolo per fare il caffè all'estero, la resa non è eccezionale, importante proteggere la fiamma dal vento.

Dave: These are an amazing addition to almost ANYTHING that has the potential to be outdoors with you or save your life.
Yes, they do smell bad... (but you can bawl about that after they save your life). They TRULY work as described and offer so many various functions or can be used in millions of ways. We have boiled water, used them just to start campfires, or strategically placed them to light at various times within a controlled burn. We keep a few packs around at all times, we have stored these for almost 10 years before with them still being able to start a campfire. I usually build a campfire using the Tee-Pee method with a newspaper under the Kinlin Tee-Pee... Now I place one of these instead of using newspaper, and it's reliable EVERY TIME no matter the weather. I will say that in a perfect scenario, we do make sure the square has been burned off for at least an hour before we cook open food (smores, hotdogs, etc.) on the campfire that it was used to start.

M. Ross: This review is for the Esbit fuel tablets in the 14 gram size. Developed in 1936 in Germany, these fuel tabs are made of hexamine and are in solid form. They have been used in purpose-specific pocket stoves for decades, in WWII, as part of humanitarian packets worldwide, and for years as part of NATO troops' standard kit. I use these primarily for the Esbit pocket stove but they also make for excellent fire starters, especially in adverse conditions. Amazon has proven a reliable source for these as well as a decent price, though I've found they can be had for comparable prices at local outdoor/adventure stores. I have been using these for years and have found them so reliable that they live in my home and auto-based emergency kits, my dayhike pack, and my backpacking gear. The following is a breakdown of my experience with the Esbit fuel tabs:

Pros:

* Utterly Dependable - It has been found that these fuel tabs burn just as long and just as hot after decades in storage. I don't know that I can say that about any of my other camping stove fuels: White gas, diesel, isobutane canisters, or alcohol. Any of the others would be prone to spills, evaporation, varnishing,...
