Do French RCIR's use a flat sheet now or do they still use the full esbit?

Amazon has them as well. That's where I got mine. They also sell the fuel tabs in various sizes and quantities.

I found one at my local Walmart for $4.86. Much cheaper than I expected. Thanks all for the tips. Truly appreciate it.

If it's the one that Walmart sells, just don't judge the Esbit by it. I've tried the one that they sell, and it's nowhere near the quality that Esbit puts into theirs. The looks are very similar, but the build is much more flimsy IMO. Still, it gets the job done. :)

Awesome glad you found one at your Walmart. Like you that's the only store near me also. But unfortunately my Walmart is very small and doesn't have the esbit stoves haha. I wanted to pick one up myself but they didn't carry them. Anyways that's great you snagged one and look forward to seeing your reviews.
