LoneTrail,

With five dogs, hoof or paw works for us either way :o). Can the testing
laboratories give results for higher elevations and thinner atmospheres?  It
would certainly be interesting to know how various stoves (and fuels) fare.
I found that our homemade alcohol stove fired up great down here, but took
substantially more fuel at higher elevations.  But we're novices and may
have done something wrong, too.
