Product Overview
A small supply of fuel can serve two useful roles at camp: getting a fire started and powering a compact cooking stove. Rothco Sol Fire Lite Fuel Cubes - 12 Pieces cover both jobs with individually wrapped blocks that ignite from a single spark and continue to light and burn when wet. They’re useful additions to a camping kit, hiking pack, or emergency supplies, particularly when damp conditions make fire preparation more difficult.
Fuel for cooking or starting a campfire
These cubes work with most folding cook stoves, giving you a compact fuel option for heating water or preparing camp food. A single cube burns for approximately eight minutes; using two together provides about twelve minutes of burn time. Those durations help you plan how much fuel to pack and choose between a shorter heating task and a longer cooking session.
For campfire use, the cube provides a sustained flame to help ignite your prepared fire materials. That makes it more useful than a momentary spark alone, especially when you need time for kindling to catch. Its ability to burn when wet is also valuable when rain or snow has complicated your camp setup.
Plant-derived fuel in separate wrappers
Fire Lite Fuel Cubes are made from upcycled waste crop vegetation and contain no fossil fuels. The clean-burning fuel offers a plant-derived alternative for campers who pay attention to the source of their outdoor consumables. Each block is wrapped separately, so you can distribute your supply between your cooking kit and emergency gear rather than keeping every cube in one place.
