[pct-l] stove question..

[James Vesely]

Thanks for the write up what you say makes a lot of sense.  I was on the
fence about the Jet Boil but now I might give it a try.

I've seen a couple of mentions of the old Svea stove.  I had one back in
the
mid-70's (Yes I'm that old) that I had a kind of love-hate relationship
with.  It was kind of like my Volkswagen at the time - it was reliable
as
long as you didn't mind working on it frequently (??). Between seals
losing
pressure and needle valve issues, I nursed that stove though a number of
years, but finally decided (as with my Bug) that I wanted something
without
so much "personality".  I like my machines to work like machines - not
like
people.  :-)
