Never used trox tabs, but I've burned a lot of fatwood here in the wet and moldy east and I think they would be great. Maybe with a couple of charcoal briquettes if you need something that burns a long time?
That would be awesome. Even if we had to carry some solid fuel to get that kind of performance, it would be excellent. The system I was messing with probably held 6 or 7 oz max.3 or 4 pinecones and some sticks,,,
Women have used that approach for generations... we men are just slow on picking up the obvious ... tell a 30 or 40 year old you are 70 rather than 60 (or 80 rather than 70 ) and you have instant respect ... nothing else, but at least respect...
On another note that may be funny to those of us "of a certain age", Here is the secret to looking young ... link attempt...

That's apparently known as the "Trump discount" set up payment in three steps ... 1/3 upfront, 1/3 halfway through, and the balance upon completion... and never pay the last third because you're not happy with the work.
I think it would cook a hot dog or warm soup OK. I think boiling water is probably too much to ask, but let us know. The one I used was kind of fun, but quite wimpy.
I used a similar device as a "tabletop campfire" burning pine cones and softwood mostly ... I wasn't impressed... only lasts a few minutes before needing refilled, and would take many refills to boil even a cup of water . YMMV.
We are done with snow shovels here . Warmest winter in years, now just deep mud. I spent most of the day reworking the raised beds so Babs can start her vegetable gardens. But I did sneak it a few minutes of bike riding.
We should get one more serious blast of cold and snow down here, if experience is any guide nowadays. But the daffodils are blooming and if "feels" like spring.
