Stoves, Tents and Carbon Monoxide – Deadly or Not?
Part 5: Laboratory Measurements for Solid FuelsMay 17, 2019 at 6:01 pm #3593431Roger. Great detailed test as ever. Well done. I would be delighted to send you some of our new Firedragon solid ethanol fuel. It outperforms hexi in almost all aspects, and doesnt generate copious quantities of hydrogen cyanide which Hexi does. Also I would be delighted for you to try out our new small lightweight cookers which go with the fuel.
All my Best Andy Howell http://www.bcbin.com

May 29, 2020 at 1:47 pm #3649935I use ESBIT tablets in the aftermarket BGET tablet holder (it holds liquid residue in its base for a longer, safer burn).
Further I burn the ESBIT inside a Trail Designs Sidewinder titanium Caldera Cone with a 3 cup Open country anodized aluminum lidded pot with a wider bottom and lower sides ratio for max efficiency.
I find this 3 cup pot is the maximum size for efficiently using ESBIT (or alcohol) for solo backpacking.* Also I’ve found the Caldera Cone style of stove is the most efficient for ESBIT.
May 29, 2020 at 5:09 pm #3649983But I never heard back from Andy about the Firedragon fuel. A pity.
I agree with Eric about needing a ‘cup’ for the ESBIT fuel for when it melts. Otherwise there is a loss of fuel.
Cheers
