Solid fuel tablets?

Does anyone know if you can find Esbit (small, white blocks of solid fuel) tablets in India? I was hoping to find some to use for backcountry cooking. Thank ya,

All caterers at fancy parties keep the food heated with these solid fuel tablets. All star hotels use them. Look out when you attend some party. If you are in a fancy place, or at a buffet in a starred hotel restaurant; the caterer might give you some for free.

Else ask him for the source address or simply offer to pay him for an entire box... he will gladly oblige.

You can find those camphor blocks in street side stores where they sell those Arisina/Kunkum powders.

Excellent. Thank ya...I wonder if they're "environmentally friendly", as the US manufacturers claim them to be. Any other takes on where I might find some?
