Esbit 1400 Degree Smokeless Solid Fuel Cubes Esbit Heritage Esbit hexamine solid fuel tablets were first developed in Murrhardt, Germany in 1932 by Eric Schumm. The name Esbit is literally an acronym - Erich Schumm Brennstoff in Tabletten (fuel in tablet form). Since then, Esbit solid fuel has proven itself as an efficient and reliable source of energy even under the most extreme weather conditions. Esbit fuels and stoves are used by various NATO forces, expeditions, in the aftermath of disasters and by a variety of outdoor enthusiasts. How it works Esbit solid fuel tablets are made from hexamethylenetetramine, a non-explosive compound that ignites when placed in contact with a flame. It burns evenly without sparks, producing a strong heat output. Each tablet will burn approximately 12 minutes up to 1,300° F (700° C). Depending upon conditions, this is usually sufficient to boil 16 ounces (500 ml) of water in roughly 8 minutes. Esbit fuel is virtually smokeless and residue-free; it does not liquefy when burning and leaves almost no ash. Advantages Unlike liquid or gas fuels, Esbit solid fuel tablets do not require a heavy cans or cartridges to transport. Each tablet is individually enclosed in low bulk, waterproof packaging that greatly reduces carry-out waste for backpackers. The strong heat output of Esbit solid fuel tablets relative to their size and weight makes them one of the most efficient portable heating options available – as well as economical. Each fuel tablet is 1.0 x 1.5 x 0.5 inches and weighs only 14 grams. Esbit solid fuels work reliably at high altitudes and sub-zero temperatures. Because of their stability, Esbit solid fuel tablets can be considered among the safest of fuel options for transport. Esbit solid fuel tablets can be stored for up to 10 years before use.
