[pct-l] Monte's new Dog Musher stove rips!!

[Montedodge at aol.com (Montedodge@xxxxxxx)]

 Got my Ididarod Alcohol stove today. Basic the pot stand and windscreen is a 
5 gallon metal paint can with handle and a bunch of 1/2 inch holes drilled 
around bottom.(Holds a 14 quart stock pot) Burner is a pie plate sized piece and 
looks like a flat over sized trangia as wide as the paint bucket. Looks easy 
to copy and heats and boils better than anything I've ever seen!! ( Boils a 
gallon of water in 3 minutes  while using 10 ozs. of alcohol) This is same 
stove/bucket combo used by dog races on the quest race and Ididarod.
   When you see it in action , you will see why the coleman 2 burner stove 
quickly became obsolite. Smaller versions will be easy to copy for scout groups 
and canoe trips. Hope to bring this to kick-off next year for a quick night 
time demo. I will also bring it to the alda -west gathering in Oct. 
   While most versions are too large for the thru-hiker, they should be 
perfect for winter snowshoe trips for melting snow and heating water. ( 24 ozs. of 
fuel melts snow to make and boil 3 gallons of water) No wonder the racers have 

been using this since 1990 in Alaska and Yukon
