[pct-l] Esbit Alternative

["Brooks Hull" <bhull@CA-F1.umd.umich.edu>]

I just tried the military's alternative to the Esbit heat tab.  It is 
called Trioxane, different than the old Hexamine.  It seemed to me 
that the Trioxane burned cleaner than and did not smell bad like the 
Esbit tabs.  I did not notice a difference in the ease of lighting 
the two tabs.
