Lydia,

Alcohol is somewhat less than Esbit in terms of heat/weight.
About 20-25% less. White gas is about 50+% greater. Diesel is about
55% greater, but, there are a lot of diesel fuels. Wax is higher, but
difficult to burn, cleanly. Butane and propane seem higher than white
gas, but require pressurization and special canisters, so, this is a bit
bogus. Alcohol can be stored in a plastic bottle. Esbit, most anywhere,
'cept it will deteriorate, slowly. Wax is anywhere.
The tables are on zenstoves.com.
My thoughts only . . .

>Hi, everyone! I am a backpacker who's still reducing the weight of her pack. I'm thinking about making a sleeping quilt and wondered where the best place is to order Primaloft insulation. Also, how do esbit tablets compare to alcohol in heat production. I'm sure there have been discussions on this, but I need a memory refresher. Thanks. Lydia
