There is one by Primus with simering control (Primus Omnifuel, if i'm not mistaken), that also burns Primus/MSR butane cartridges, in addition to many liquid fuels. I have a similar model called Primus Easyfuel (without simmering control, I don't do fancy cooking in field, and it's regulator has pretty wide range anyway). LPG (butane) cartridges are probably THE easiest to use under most of conditions that kayaker could encounter, and don't need any maintenance. They are quite lightweight too (though green Coleman tanks are heavier, and don't fit to Primus stoves - thread has to be replaced). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
