I have a titanium Esbit stove (1/3 of an ounce and dirt cheap), plus the fuel tabs are 1/2 ounce each. I have used it on the trail on short one-week hikes and love it. This year, however, I'm planning a 2018 thru-hike. On section hikes, I can pack all the fuel I need for the whole trip. However, I'm wondering how easy it is to find Esbit fuel on the trail. I'm trying to keep mail drops to a bare minimum due to postage costs. I know that Walmart has their own brand of solid fuel tabs, which I have purchased but not tested. I generally cook in the morning and at night, so I use 2 tabs per day. I'm thinking I could carry 24 tabs, which would be very similar in weight to what many other hikers carry with heavier stoves and fuel. I'm curious how many of you have used Esbit and how easy the tabs are to find.
