That is why I used cans to make my own esbit stoves. Let's say half height hobo stoves that will fit esbit tabs very nicely. Othr types of fuels will fit there just as good, from coals to small container of alcohol

The charcoal you have already located looks ideal.

You probably don't even need to do the half and half with the hexi because charcoal will usually take light directly from a match.

If it is difficult to light, a simple strip of newsprint screwed up should be more than enough to get it going.


I've found a brand of firelighter made from compressed wood chips which works OK too; and does not "go off" with storage.
