^ this is my preferred method of lighting as well, doesn't take much either
if you don't carry hand sanitizer, take a knife and scrape some shavings off a corner and then light w/ a match or lighter- much easier than putting a light to a fully intact cube
my experience (w/ the 4dog LT1 stove) is that a cube will boil 16oz (In a SP 600) w/ enough left over to easily do my morning coffee the next day
I tend to use wood more these days, but the Esbit is a nice backup
Jul 1, 2011 at 3:00 pm #1755137– Bryce: Sorry, I haven't been back to this thread in a while.
I just leave my esbit tabs in their original, sealed packaging before using (stink contained). Forgot to mention the small 3" x 4" zip bag (less than 1/2 gram – scale shows 0 grams) for storing the Ti-wing stove (again, stink contained).
I typically share my stove with a group mate who is also just boiling for FBC-style meal. After boiling the two cupfuls, there is a small amount of the esbit tab left; I let it burn off. The stove is left to cool as I eat. The slight residue is then hard/solid before it gets packed up.
