[at-l] What Kind of Stove to take on the AT

[trailr at aol.com]

It has to be HEET on the yellow container (methyl). Ans I would advise a pepsi can stove to burn efficiently.

Thanks to all for the great advice on stoves, and fuel.  I never thought of 
using gas line antifreeze as fuel, but it makes good sense.  The stuff is 
widely available, and comes in ready to pack containers.I could probably 
just pour some Heet or similer product into an empty Sterno can, and use it 
under my sterno stove.

I've got two AGG stoves. Love 'em. But something about that Trangia...
