[pct-l] Canister stoves

[bodhisattvavow at hotmail.com (Hotmail)]

Some of the older canister stoves did require you to leave the stove on the
cannister.  However, I own a Gigapower stove and it is removable after every
use.  I think this is the case with most of the modern canister stoves.
Peace and Love,
Matt
