[pct-l] stoves

[ironlegs at pacbell.net (Thatcher Koch)]

so... you have an emergency with your alcohol stove.
you dump a lot of water from your water bottle on it.
now, does this trash your stove? or how long do you
have to wait until it dries out so that you can use it
again? has anyone had this experience? (one of the
reasons an alcohol stove is used aboard boats is that
a fire can be readily extinguished with water.)
