RE: [pct-l] Butane stove achellies heel

One option is the Primus multifuel stove that will burn both Buthane/Propane
mix and white gas. It's heavy though, heavier than a Whisperlight.

	Maybe the newer propane /butane stoves have fixed some of the early
problems.
	My main concern is the achellies heel of most canister stoves, the
conection
	between stove and canister. Also in cold weather, the propane in
blended fuel
	stoves, burns off faster than the butane leaving only butane in the
last of
	canister. This is no problem in desert and their lightness is great,
but I
	would still trade for a white gas in the snow. If you have two
stoves, you can
	have the best of both worlds , mail the white gas to weldon ,then
mail back
	butane later.
