Esbit Solid Fuel Tablets 12-Pack, 14 g Each

Esbit Solid Fuel Tablets are compact hexamine fuel tablets designed for camp cooking, beverage heating, and fire starting. Each 14 g tablet burns for approximately 12 minutes at temperatures up to 1400°F (760°C), and one tablet boils 500 ml of water in about 8 minutes. This pack includes 12 individually wrapped tablets made in Germany.

Reliable Heat in Any Condition

Esbit solid fuel tablets ignite with a standard match or lighter and continue burning reliably at high altitudes and sub-zero temperatures. For overlanders and backpackers who move through variable terrain and weather, that consistency means a hot meal or warm drink is available regardless of elevation or ambient cold.

Long Shelf Life, Ready When You Need It

Each tablet is individually sealed in waterproof packaging, and the fuel can be stored for more than 10 years without degradation. Keeping a pack in a vehicle emergency kit, bug-out bag, or camp box means the fuel will be viable long after it was packed, with no rotation schedule required.

Versatile Beyond the Camp Stove

Esbit solid fuel tablets work with compatible folding stoves and pocket stoves, but they also serve as a fire-starting aid for charcoal grills and campfires. A single pack covers multiple scenarios on the same trip, from a quick morning coffee on the trail to getting a charcoal fire going at the campsite.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

Esbit solid fuel tablets suit backpackers, overlanders, and emergency-preparedness kits where compact, long-shelf-life fuel is a priority. They work well as a primary heat source with a compatible solid-fuel stove or as a fire-starting aid for charcoal and campfires.

A compatible stove or cooking stand is not included with these tablets. Esbit solid fuel tablets are not a liquid or canister fuel and require a stove or support designed for solid fuel use.

Common Questions

Do these tablets work in cold weather and at altitude?

Esbit solid fuel tablets are designed to ignite and burn at sub-zero temperatures and high altitudes, where canister fuels can lose pressure and underperform. A standard match or lighter is sufficient to ignite them under those conditions.

How long does one tablet burn, and can it boil water?

Each 14 g Esbit tablet burns for approximately 12 minutes at temperatures up to 1400°F (760°C). One tablet is sufficient to boil 500 ml of water in approximately 8 minutes when used with a compatible solid-fuel stove.

Is a stove included with these tablets?

No stove or cooking stand is included. Esbit solid fuel tablets require a separate compatible solid-fuel stove or support to use for cooking or boiling water. The tablets can also be used directly to help start a charcoal grill or campfire without a stove.

How are the tablets packaged, and how long can they be stored?

Each of the 12 tablets is individually sealed in waterproof packaging. Esbit solid fuel tablets have a stated shelf life of 10 or more years, making them well suited for long-term storage in vehicle emergency kits or go-bags.

Is there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?

Yes. Esbit solid fuel tablets can expose users to chemicals including carbon monoxide, soot, and other combustion by-products, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
