How many Fuel Tablets are needed to use this effectively?

That is like asking how long does it take to boil a pot of water. How big is the pot? Is it tall and skinny or short and fat? How much water is in the pot? What is the temperature of the water to start? From another site and reviewer - It boiled 2 cups of water (the amount for a standard Mountain House) using about a fuel tab and a half in temperatures around 0 degrees F.

1 tablet to heat 16 ounces of water in 10 minutes, This is enough to prepare 1 packet (6.38 ounces) of mountain house freeze dried food.

I normally carry 2 of the fuel tablet packs with me. Fuel use depends entirely on what you are trying to heat or bring to the boil. Burn time differs at varying altitudes.

I used (1) tablet to a 16 oz steel cup the other day, it didnt get it to a rolling boil or anything, but it burnt out just in time for the water to reach a slight boil, but then went out. It worked fine for my hiking meal and I will definantly be ordering more of these in the future.Wind is a killer, so be sure to block the wind somehow, but BE VERY CAREFUL!! It gets hot! Also you cant see the flames!

From personal experience, with no wind, and a quart sized pot (the size of a canteen cup), it takes 1-2. If there is a light breeze, it will take at least 2, which I recommend finding a way to block the wind.

1 fuel tab will boil enough water for a mountain house meal... thats my metric for judging effective or not... personally I'd also keep a couple of twigs handy to supplement the fuel tab

Don't know for sure, I fried up a batch of potatoes and onions (twice) as well as some walleye fillets and chicken wings (sever batches) and there seems to be plenty of fuel left in the cannister. Bottom line..... one fuel can will go a long way. I plan to take two with me for a week of shore lunches in Canada in June and that should be more than enough.

There are about 40 tablets in the box. So far they are working quite well. They do take repeated applications as they eat them.

Hi! I believe that 6 tablets result in approx. 20% of your daily requirement. Although I only take two tablets twice a day, and try to increase my consumption of raw, dark, leafy greens :) I've read that small amounts of minerals are better absorbed- hope this helps.

I had to buy my own CO2. It uses 2 of the small containers at a time. Works pretty good, at high rates of fire.

In the water reservoir and as much as you need. If i'm using one oil,I usually use one or two drops. Multiple oils , I use 2 drops of each.

There are 500 mg in a two tablet serving. They are large, but coated tablets.

It really depends on your flame setting, I would pack an 8oz and a 4oz for a 5 day trip and that should be more then enough. Remember the higher your flame setting the faster your fuel consumption!

its MORE than enough. you'll probably be able to use it upto around 4~5 times.

My suggestion is to drop 1 tablet into the feeder tube, wait until it's gone and then drop another one down. As waste flows across the bottom tablet it will soften and allow the ones above it to drop lower and melt into the bottom one. The goo should still be melting into the waste but if it's a problem I'd only use 1 tablet at a time.

3-4 chlorine tablets. I let them dissolve completely before adding new tabs. You can adjust how many tablets you put in based on your chlorine levels. If it's too high take out a tab or 2... Be careful not to let your chlorine levels get too low allowing algae to grow. The tabs will last roughly a week.

I would not use this with fuel. The product is top notch for many other projects.

More than one.... I'd say 10 or so depending on the amount you use it each time

I am using four. Two in the upper part for the water, and two in the lower part for fluoride. There are some good videos on utube that might be beneficial for you to watch. I love my Berkey!

You can use it as little or as much as needed. I don't change the pad each time, in fact, I've changed butane before I've changed the pad.

2 tablets per quart ready in 35 min. 50 tabs per bottle so one bottle should treat25 quarts remember to strain water first to get the solids out (like rain water from roof)
