Yeah, I think the "metholated" means it is denatured with methanol. I think I said earlier "meths" might be straight methanol, but I was obviously wrong. To change gears, why not just get a Peak One 442 "Dual Fuel" stove -- burns either white gas or unleaded gasoline. Solves the fuel availability problem, and (unlike the MSR) simmers nicely. I've used one of these for 6 or 8 years, and found it to be pretty reliable and compact, as well (fits inside my pot kit). About US$50 at REI in Seattle (and elsewhere), though I strongly recommend the optional windscreen, which runs another seven dollars (Campmor catalog). -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Jun 27 1998 - 06:32:14 PDT
