[pct-l] question re-fuel for Caldera Cone System Stove

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Denatured alcohol is so available that often you can buy it by the  
ounce or sometimes it is even given away. When denatured alcohol  
isn't available, HEET is easy to find. You get to the point where the  
whole HEET bottle is just as easy to carry as anything so you won't  
end up pouring any out. You can always leave some in the hiker box,  
which is also a good place to look when you need some.

I really like my caldera cone. It keeps the flames contained really  
well and is very sturdy, won't blow over.
