Trioxane tabs work great. Though, I prefer to use them as an alternative to starting a fire since they burn so long. Unless it's REALLY wet, that is. One trioxane tab will burn long and hot enough to boil a small/medium pot of water. Great to use for a quick break during a hike. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
The only downside that I've had with them is that they can crumble into powder if left in your pack too long. I recently opened the pouch I keep them in to find that the packages were nearly empty! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
