Cheaper Than Dirt used to. Haven't checked out the catalog lately. I stocked up in the 90's so my Spidey senses are off the trail a bit.

Is that bulk enough?

If you wanted to buy hundreds of dollars of the things at once,,,, I would suggest you find a few places that sell regular quantities pretty cheap, email them with the dollar amount you want to spend and see what they'll do.

Not sure how many ( bulk ) you want but this place has
the tabs.

Looks like 8 per pkg for $ 1.98

You could buy 12 or 13 pks and get 100 tabs
for close to $ 25.00

Trioxane fumes are toxic. http://www.theepicenter.com/military_surplus.html

Fuel Gel, Diethylene Glycol, Military
Here is the real Military deal!

The military is now using this Diethylene Glycol fuel gel as the replacement for the old Trioxane Fuel Bars. This gel has a higher heat of combustion per unit mass and its only combustion by-products are carbon dioxide and water. When compared to Trioxane, it weighs less, burns hotter, and doesn't give off toxic gases.
Simply tear open the pouch, squeeze the contents onto the ground or onto your Esbit or Tri-Wing stove, shield from the wind and light with a match.
Place your canteen cup over the flame and in less than 8 minutes you will get boiling water!
The gel burns with a steady, blue flame of low luminosity and gives off no smoke. In fact, the clear blue flame is all but invisible in daylight.
On average you should expect to get 12-15 minutes of useable flame from a single pouch.
Three (3) pouches per box.
Fuel Gel, Diethylene Glycol (box of 3). Price $1.25, Ten (10) or more boxes for $0.99 each

Not sure about Esbit but trioxane has a short shelf life. I bought some at a gun show and it was rotten. That said, beware of how far into the shelf life it ALREADY is when you buy it.

Triox will probably last longer than you do, unless the packaging is compromised.
