[pct-l] Stove recommendation for Oregon Section

[Dennis Phelan]

I agree with Stephen that the Jetboil is hard to beat as it burns so
efficiently that it uses less fuel.  I have done the comparisons with
both alcohol and other lightweight canister stoves, but after adding the
fuel weight the total is almost equal to the Jetboil.  I have found the
lightest option to be a Esbit tablet, with a Caldera cone to hold a Ti pot,
but the Jetboil is just so convenient and easy to use.  While the Oregon
forests are dryer this year than others; there are no regulations limiting
stove types.   I suspect open campfires will be limited soon.
