Monte: You obviously didn't feel the tug on your leg... If I really thought
you needed to bring the bottle, I would have asked whether to get the 12 oz.
or economy 24 oz. size.

But in fact, I really do use the Whisperlite still--because we're usually
cooking for four. My biggest weight loss (1 pound) came this year when I
switched from stainless to titanium pots.

Have you tin-snip tinkerers come up with a practical lightweight solution
for group cooking? I don't think a cat-food stove will do the job.

Cheers,
Carl
