heyup jj, nice one buddy! trying to catch up on your bits & pieces....I've got internet problems keep getting shut down. Anyways keep it out there - it keeps us sane :-)
did you notice if any of the gel leaked through the holes in the bottom of the esbit?
I did a comparison video on my channel between this and the green heat fuel gel. but i just used the bottom to a soda can to hold the gels as i was wondering it they would seep through. the green heat would definatley seep through. but i had much better results with the US fuel gel and if it doesn't seep through the holes, then the esbit stove would still be a good option as i carry esbit tabs also.
@sh0rtmag I didnt notice any seepage of the gel fuel, its really thick and seems to stay that way through the complete burn cycle. Thanks for watching.
I might start using these instead of the esbit blocks as the gel fuel works out cheaper, just 40p a packet here or around £4 for 12-14 or so

Is there a different between the Hexamine Stove and the Esbit Stove? Thanks so much for sharing.

could possibly use the gel as a real fire starter

Great demo. How long was the total burn time for 1 gel packet?
