Thank you, tried the gel, not for me didn’t like it and the extra packaging with the blocks. But all the other options are worth trying.

Will try the pellets lots of options at least.

Thank you for that. Definitely worth trying and the pictures helped me see how you make them.

Will try it, that sounds like a good option. The soot does not bother me that’s what a used wet tea bag is for, to clean that off. Don’t worry the wife won’t find out, blame

Since the powers that be (those idiots, wassocks, cretins, looneys) have banned my beloved hexi. I am seeking an alternative that is also solid fuel. Keeping my preference for the hexi stove or nails with a mug. Has anyone used fire lighters before, are they any good. Also what do you think of...
