Anyone know if it’s legal to carry Esbit fuel tabs in checked luggage?

According to the list all cooking fuel is a no no…but I forgot and had some in my check in luggage coming home, and I was surprised to see it along with my REI Storm matches when unpacking.

Not so fast, I can’t say about planes but I do know that you can put them in your mail drops. If your uneasy carrying them you can mail them to yourself. GOOD HIKING.

Many thanks for the responses. Sounds like the Esbit tabs will be heading south on UPS. Will probably take the opportunity to send some other stuff too.

Yeah sticking an Esbit up a terrorists arse and successfully lighting it (no wind) could cause some problems on an aeroplane.
