[pct-l] stoves?



I have used the Gigapower stove successfully without any problems - ever.
Not cheap and you do need those universal canisters, but it is very light,
can be used almost anywhere, can be turned low or high. I took it off the
canister after using and kept it inside the pot. Loved it.
