Solid Fuel Tablet Sizes
Johnmcc69:
I'm designing a burner tray for my "Dribbler" loco & was wondering if someone could give me the sizes of the "Solid Fuel" (Esbit, Meta", other) tablets that are available (Length, width, height).
A quick look at the Esbit website shows me 3 sizes available: 14, 5, & 4 grams, but no dim's/sizes.

The Esbit 4g tablets measure 1/2" X 1/4" X 1-5/16"
I've also got some Mamod brand tablets that measure 7/8" DIA X 13/32" thick.
Give or take. This measurement was steel rule based. I didn't feel like breaking out my micrometer for this. :D
These are the only tablets I have on hand.

Aw nuts Stuart. I should have mentioned I need the METRIC version of the tablets. I'm designing it all in metric...waaaay to far ahead in my design to start over for the "imperial" size tablets. :toilet_claw:

(Thanks Stuart :cheers: !)

There are no metric vs imperial versions of the tablets. Stuart just used an inch ruler on his. Easy conversion to mm.

Not a problem! I’ll make a holding fixture, and face mill each tablet to size!
