I am wondering (1) if there will be enough fuel (probably yes, given that the stove requires only twigs), and (2) if they are legal in that area (probably not, given that the Park Service requires the use of gas stoves in the upper bay). I will check on number (2). This seems like a nice option for long trips. By the way, does the stove simmer, or is this just a boil-up-some-water type of thing? How controllable is the heat output?>> The definitive answer on the use of these things in state parks appears to be, "it depends." Ya' gotta check. In some parks --- and I just researched your question --- they <are> placed in the same category as liquid fueled stoves; in others, they're considered open fires. Re finessing the heat level: it can be done, but not with the degree of control you'd have with an "analog" valve on a fuel source. But turning off the blower will lower the fire a bit and not adding fuel for a while will cool things down some as well, I suppose. Turning the blower up and throwing in another couple of pinecones will spice things up a bit. Rocket science this ain't! Don't look for any 17 pinecone souffle recipes at Barnes and Noble. But please post any info you get on their legality, Dan.
