[pct-l] Alcohol (stoves)

[stillroaming@lycos.com (K. Scott Parks)]

While I've never used a homemade alcohol
stove, I'd vote for esbit. It was amusing
last summer to watch my fellow hikers try
to get fuel, "Got alcohol? Know where I
can get some?".

If you plan on doing nothing more than heat
water for a meal once a day, I'd use esbit.

The isobutane stoves are great for more
'elaborate' meals.

If you're serious about weight and want
to use the most hassle free fuel, buy lots
of esbit tabs and keep them in your drift
box.
