My neighbor is somewhat of hiker and a disaster “prepper” who follows sites like the Woodpile Report and
Esbit cubes are solid fuel cubes used for cooking backpacking meals. Weighing just 0.5 ounces (14 g)
and he thinks Esbits are great to have around ... just in case.
I looked up the label on my Esbit package and it says : contains METHENAMINE, which when Googled gets all kinds of weird results.
The tabs I recently used that were non-smelly and had the texture of a sugar cube. They may be desiccated.
I think I’ll try and get some newer Esbit and re-evaluate it for running the steam engines. If it still is the stinky stuff , my neighbor says he will gladly take it if I don't want it.
