While we're on the camping theme....., I have a 5 lb. propane tank that is good for about 6-8 meals on a small grille and I'd like to use it for camping. I'd like some input on a small, light, single burner propane stove that would easily fit in a kayak.

Oh, how I love talking about camping gear.... I have the Peak 1 "can't remember the model name" but it's very small and you screw it straight onto a butane mix canister (not your Coleman type of propane ones). Campmor has a similar type called the MSR Rocket something for about $35. I got my stove (there's also a small lantern that screws on to your "spare" canister) at Sports Authority and believe I paid less than $35....the second one (one of those "I couldn't resist" deals) cost me $9.00 at Sports Authority - I think the packaging was missing. I keep them in little fleece bags and they are great. I can't be bothered to mess about with liquid fuel/Whisperlites that need cleaning/repairing etc. The butane cylinders come in two sizes. http://www.campmor.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=14104244&prmenbr=226 sandy kramer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I lost the original to this thread but the latest Canoe & Kayak has an excellent review of camp stoves, and lots of other goodies. Dave G.

The fact that you can screw a lantern top on it makes the logistics soooo much easier.
