[pct-l] stove

[ROYROBIN at aol.com (ROYROBIN@aol.com)]

The stove described below will boil a pint of water in about 15 minutes, if 
you use enough fuel and a good windscreen.  A CatStove or most properly made 
soda can stoves will boil the same water in 4 to 5 minutes.  The CatStove will 
do it using two Tbsp of fuel.  

Many people on this list have spent a lot of time perfecting these little 
stoves.  Let's do what we can to put the Class of '04 on the trail with a stove 
that works well.
