Stove to go
Our local park is the designated area for the Pacific Crest Trail Association annual kick off, or should I say hike off. http://www.pcta.org/about_trail/overview.asp This is one of the nifty lightweight things hikers use while on the trail. I'll never complain about my stove again. Alcohol burner stove. http://i44.tinypic.com/2ugciuc.jpg koko -- There is no love more sincere than the love of food George Bernard Shaw www.kokoscorner.typepad.com updated 04/19 |

We use to use something similar to that in Boy Scouts, unless we were somewhere that we could build a campfire. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk.

That contraption would be the one to compare to your stove, as it used to be used by millions as a home stove, not just on a trail. It was what enabled whole cities in the former Soviet Union to survive the first 30+ years of its wretched existence, as it was the only stove available or feasible to use. BTW, Harry, my poor grandson, once told me, here on rfc, that Primus was an example of lousy marketing, with the company introducing a great portable stove and then allowing another company (Coleman) to dominate the market with an inferior product.

Sterno is cheap and very transportable. Easy to extinguish, too. Alcohol burners, not so easy. I had an alcohol burner under a fondue pot once. If you spill any of the denatured alcohol then light a match, watch out!! It's a good thing I had it sitting on a glass "cutting board" otherwise my table would have been on fire. Jill |

Instead, I've used a Svea 1-2-3 stove for 30+ years. Steve |

Hope this picture does it justice. I wish I would have gotten a better photo. Above the yellow lettering are the alcohol cubes and their holders. http://i43.tinypic.com/rm0k9e.jpg koko -- There is no love more sincere than the love of food George Bernard Shaw www.kokoscorner.typepad.com updated 04/20 |

The original Primus, a Swedish brand, was - and still is - a kerosene pressure stove that looked like this: <http://your.slv.vic.gov.au/treasures/contributions/images/206.jpg>. Sir Edmund Hillary used a Primus stove on Mount Everest. Victor |
