No, but I have a similar stove that uses Hexamine tablets. It was created
for the British Army. The stove folds around a box of twelve tablets.
Pluses: very light weight, very small, heats fast, silent. Minuses: no
flame control (it's on or it isn't) but you can control the heat by raising
your pot, once you light a tablet you can't "shut it off". I like it better
than sterno (hotter). I've never owned a stove that I could simmer with so
I can't judge one against the other.
