Pros & Cons
Pros
Coghlan provides two sealed plastic bags of 12 round, 6g hexamine tablets. Hexamine is pretty much the same in terms of heat generated, and burn time and heat output will vary by the total weight being burned.
Wind guard on the bcb stove helps. Also doubles as a fire tender.
These are a great, cheap recourse for hiking/ camping/ bikepacking. I definitely recommend these to anyone who hikes or camps.
Great fuel for backpacking/hiking/emergency stoves. Great fir warming up food or boiling water. Great fire starter for a campfire lay.

Its says smokeless and odorless, but it releases a noxious smoke and foul odor.
Not even capable of boiling 2 cups of water with one cube in a garage. You will struggle to get 8-10 oz of water to a rolling boil on a chilly morning (50 degrees) the cup on the stove holds barely 2 cups, too small.

Competitiveness
So the coghlan package is on the less expensive side in terms of $/g (dollars per gram), and affords a more 'granular' approach... Read More
Especially less expensive than esbit's 4g packages, which seem unduly expensive.
Until esbit decides to finally lower their price a bit, i'm going to keep using these lower priced alternatives as esbit has be... Read More
