[pct-l] Alcohol and Esbit Stoves

[JPL]

Sort of lost track of what the original thread was, but do the regs say 
"control the flame length and temperature"?  Post that citation please.  I 
would argue that I've got "control" over my esbit stove.  But others might 
disagree.  Fine.  I say again, its instructive that the BLM couldn't answer 
the question just right off the bat.

Can you control the flame length and temperature of an alcohol stove? Why 
YES, YES I CAN! It is actually quite easy with the right stove. Just like 
canster stoves, some only have a ON/OFF no flame control. And if your 
canster stove is not running 100% Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) then your in 
voilation of the regs AS WRITTEN. Wolfman, and yea this is pissing me off.

JPL, for the last time, "controlled flame devise' Can you control the flame 
length and temperature of an Esbit or alcohol stove? I don't even need to 
mention an on/off valve for the answer to be NO to both of those stoves. The 
BLM directive is clear as to what type of stove is allowable and which is 
not. Be safe and do the right thing. Terry
