Solid Fuel Tablets

Hi



I work in a hardware store and a regular customer as asked me if I can get hold of any "solid fuel blocks" for him, they appear to power some steam models, the kind I had as a kid, a captive engine that drives a little generator and things...



The blocks appear to be like firelighter type material but are only small perhaps 1"×1"?".



The gent cannot seem to buy these locally and I was wondering if anyone knew a mail order supplier I could point him to?



Many Thanks

I remember this stuff, which I think was called "Metafuel", though a Google search on the name now seems to produce nothing relevant.

I used to use something similar for camping (warming up paraffin stoves) is this them:

A quick look around Google came up with 'Esbit' solid fuel tablets. Also you could try loooking up 'Hexamine' - solid fuel used in some camping stoves

There's a solid fuel tablet the Army use for the personal stoves. I think its eco-friendly too. Try thr camping/climbing shops or the Army surplus.
