[pct-l] Stove Fires

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Clearing the area of combustible material includes the campground's wooden 
table top! Who is it on this list who has that great picture of 3 or 4 
burned rings on the top of just such a table?? Care to share?

Pepsi can alcohol stoves are light weight and hot. A strong wind can blow 
them around spraying pressurized fuel as it goes. Also, since they 
pressurize by heating the entire stove they are not easy to stop with your 
hands. Plus there is no way to turn them off. This scenario has led to at 
least two forest fires that I have heard of.
I use esbit. A half tab will boil a cup of water in about 7 minutes. They 
are easy to blow out and easy to carry. Plus mailing them in your drop box 
is easy. (Legal?)
