newbie Hex type stove question

[HistoricalSteve]

Sorry if this is a daft question or been asked before.

Can Hexi stoves, or other similar types take burning organic fuel,

looking to get something for bugging out but want a device that will that is operable with both chemical fuel (tabs etc) and organic (twigs), going to be getting tabs, but they are a limited resource.

perhaps all devices will accept both and operate fine long term, just wanted a bit of advice.
I am not rich (very far from it) but happy to pay more for the right device, two of which will be very important in my prepping plan.

Thanks for any advice.

I have used a Hexi stove with twigs plenty of times.

Have a look on this thread:

hexi fuel is toxic if burned indoors but there is a new boy in town called zip fuel that's not http://www.zipmilitaryfuel.com/

For best results from hexi tabs use two, one split into quaters and the other left whole, this will bring water to a boil quickly then maintain a good heat for cooking with.
I finally stoped using hexi stoves last year when i whent to a pocket rocket gas stove, it gives enough gas to last 1 week of bugging out and cools down very quickly so can be put away without melting your bag/webbing.
When i use wood i biuld a nordic stove, just split a log in 4 or tie some branches together (cut to 10inch) this gives you a self contained fire with its own flat top for putting your mess tin on, it has its own base so can even be used in a marsh or on snow. you can even pick up the entire fire and move it closer to your shelter.
