[pct-l] wood burning stove

I used a wood burning stove for a little while, but not the model  
someone asked about. I didn't like having a sticky pot in my pack.  
The wood out here, in So Cal anyway, is very resinous and leaves a  
sticky residue.

I'm not really sure why you need a stove if you're going to cook with  
wood. It doesn't seem to work any faster to use a stove. It just  
seems that you use more wood that you have to chunk up into smaller  
pieces. A tiny fire works just as well without a stove to cart around.

My friend Lenny cooked on a tiny fire every night the whole way.  
Worked for him.
