Burners for solid fuels such as ESBIT (Erich Schumm Brennstoff In Tabletten - Erich Schumm fuel in tablets) accomplish several things. They may keep your melting fuel tab from soaking into the ground, reflect some of the heat radiating towards the ground back up at your stove, keep your fuel dry, protect the ground from the residue that remains after the fuel has burned, elevate the fuel closer to your pot when using a pot stand made for multiple fuel types (alcohol, wood, etc), increase surface area of fuel exposed to air, be considered a stove where campfires are prohibited.
