This was moved from Esbit, and redirected as this is a more precise term. Added chemistry stub because the article needs information about the chemical makeup of the heat tablets. I have also added all of the common terms this is refered with as redirects. --Darkfred 13:25, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

I just used a pocket torch / gas lighter to incinerate a completely wet and rain-exposed pack of ESBIT, which still kept its shape of qubes and would not liquify if exposed to rain. this stuff has its advantages.91.60.141.214 (talk) 16:38, 9 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

in or im? edit

Come on, folks. Lets get some concensus here instead of this ping-pong game. Any German speakers here? --Roly (talk) 20:32, 10 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

I've kept returning it to "im" because that was the first time someone gave a reason for it being one way or the other. Now looking at the history, I see it was originally written "in"[1], which then remained until a change identified as 'typo of german "in should be im"'[2]. Since then, it has been changed back to "in" various times with no reason or with no more definitive basis than that. I couldn't find it on the company's website, and Google Translate doesn't seem to disprove either way. I {{cn}}'ed it. We actually need a citeable source, since it's a claimed fact of an actual name that is "whatever the company decided to call it", not just a native speaker to tell us what is now linguistically correct.

I'm not sure but I'm leaning towards "in". I've found a few references in German web sites, including German Wikipedia, which say "in" but none that say "im". The only references I can find that say "im" are English Wikipedia and a few unreliable sources that are probably quoting Wikipedia. I have not yet found a reliable citeable source. --Roly (talk) 10:08, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
