[pct-l] SCAQMD Rule 1143 & Denatured Alcohol Question

[Paul Robison]

last season i used a canister ... and at home i loved using it on low,  but the 
dessert is windy, and i had to keep it at full bore just to get heat to the 
pot...  the two of us went through two 8 oucne cans by warner springs due to 
wind and snow.
it was very hard to erect a good windscreen, eventually i made one out of a 
parabolic reflector for a garag light from lowes for 4$...  just cut the bottom 
wide enough to set on the canister, and then screwed my stove over the top.

Yes I think it does.  I have kept the setting almost as low as possible and
not trying to boil supper fast.  Keeping the flame under the pot and not
going outside.  

I have also found that my GSI teapot is a more efficient boiler that the GSI
solo pot. By about 1 minute on low.
