So can anybody tell us about using the Pocket Cooker in wet conditions? From 
one of the first postings I concluded that lighting it is the only real 
problem and taking some dry wood along would take care of that.

If that's the case, I'd much prefer it to batteries and all the complexity 
of the Sierra. 

Are there any figures on how much longer the Pocket Stove takes for say a 
quart if you are burning wet wood?
