Solid Fuel Blocks

FireDragon solid fuel blocks, supplied by J3Seven, are clean-burning, waterproof and easy-to-light solid fuel for field cooking, heating water and starting fires. Designed for military and outdoor use, they burn hot even in wind and rain, making them ideal for Defence, law enforcement, emergency services, remote workers and outdoor professionals across Australia and New Zealand.

Made from high-performance biofuel, FireDragon blocks are low odour, non-toxic once cured and leave very little residue compared with traditional hexamine or gel fuels. They can be used with standard issue folding stoves, many compact camping stoves or as firelighters for larger fires.

Why Teams Choose FireDragon Solid Fuel

Lights fast, burns hot: FireDragon blocks are designed to light quickly with a match, lighter or spark and provide a strong, consistent flame for boiling water or heating rations.

Works when it is wet: The fuel continues to perform in rain and damp conditions, making it suitable for field operations and bad-weather camping.

Cleaner than traditional solid fuels: FireDragon produces minimal soot and smoke compared with older fuel tablets, helping reduce odour, staining and residue on cookware.

Low toxicity and odour: A bio-based formulation avoids some of the more hazardous characteristics of legacy fuels, supporting safer storage and handling.

Flexible use: Can be used in folding stoves, small camp stoves or as a firelighter under wood or charcoal, giving flexibility across field, base and recreational use.

Range of pack sizes: From individual and retail boxes to a bulk 5 litre bucket, FireDragon can be issued for personal kits, team usage or training stores.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stoves can FireDragon solid blocks be used with?

FireDragon blocks are suitable for many compact and folding field stoves, including common military-issue patterns, as well as small camping stoves designed for solid fuel tablets. They can also be used as firelighters under wood or charcoal.

What is the difference between the 14 g and 27 g blocks?

Both are made from the same clean-burning solid fuel. The 27 g block provides a longer burn and more heat per block, whereas 14 g blocks are lighter and allow finer control over how much fuel you issue or carry.

When would I choose the 5 litre bucket?

The 5 litre bucket is intended for bulk use – for example, training areas, camps, group catering, or where a central store issues fuel as required. It is more efficient for high-volume users than buying multiple small retail cartons.

Are FireDragon blocks safe to store with other field equipment?

FireDragon has been designed as a safer, cleaner alternative to older solid fuels. As with all fuels, it should be stored away from naked flames and high heat sources, in line with your organisation’s safety procedures and local regulations.

Can FireDragon be used in total fire bans?

Fire restrictions vary by jurisdiction. Solid fuel may be treated differently to gas or open wood fires. Always check current local fire regulations and your organisational policies before using any fuel outdoors during restricted periods.

Is FireDragon suitable for Australian conditions?

Yes. FireDragon is widely used for field cooking and firelighting in varied climates. Its ability to light and burn in wind and rain makes it well suited to many Australian environments when used responsibly and in line with fire regulations.
