Esbit v.s. Expedition Research 14g Solid fuel Hexamine tablets
5 Stars
Esbit v.s. Expedition Research 14g Solid fuel Hexamine tablets
I tested both brands under identical circumstances and found them to perform virtually identical. At the time of purchase the E.R. tablets cost $29.76 for 40 v.s. 36 Esbit tablits for $39.99. Performance and cost aside, I prefer the Expedition Research because it's packaging is better at hiding the smell of the tablets.Both tests were performed in a Snow Peak Trek 1400 Titanium pot. The test was performed on a titanium Clikstand T-2 with the titanium Windscreen T-2C. The insert to hold the tablet is the Trangia aluminum gel burner.I started with 1.75 cups of water as prescribed by my Mountain House Beef Stew. The ambient temperature was 57F. The starting temperature of the water was 66F. Test was performed against a wall sheltered from 9MPH wind. Soot was cleaned from the bottom of the pan in between tests.Figures are in minutes and seconds. (00:00)Esbitsimmered at 5:10boil at 5:37boiled until 10:11candle sized flame until 12:25Expedition Researchsimmered at 5:14boiled at 5:40boiled until 10:20candle sized flame until 12:30Conclusion: Performance was identical. E.R. tablets were cheaper and the packaging doesn't let the stink out.IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONSI repeated this test with other pots and stands. I discovered pot size and distance from the flame is critical. With smaller diameter pots closer to the flame performance was significantly diminished. You should test your setup beforehand. Not every pot and stand combination will work well with hexamine solid fuel tablets.
