History
During WW2, Fuel Tablets were indispensable for soldiers in the field. With limited resources and often under harsh conditions, these tablets allowed them to heat their meals. Compact, lightweight, and easy to use, they were typically issued alongside "C-Rations" and used with small field stoves or improvised cooking setups.
