If esbit tablets were really lighter and better, the dog mush racers would
already be using them in a larger form as they are always looking for an edge.
Money is no object, only performance. They need to be able to heat and melt
enough snow for 4 gallons of water with the lightest stove. So far alcohol is
the only fuel that fills this niche. The weight of esbit fuel to melt snow for
four gallons of water must be too great or they would be using it already.
