[Cdt-l] gas canisters

[Jim Eagleton]

I saw gas canisters all over the place.  (most of the time I was looking for ethanol)  Except for a few Jetboil holdouts, most people are using the larger 8 oz net cylinders. (yes the smaller cylinders fit in the Jetboil better.)  
The larger cylinders facilitate 1)  fewer purchases, 2)  are much more stable, 3)  are slightly more efficient on a weight basis.  
You cannot count on finding the cylinders anywhere.  I have heard of the Super Walmarts being sold out.   There were several 
cylinders in the general store in Riverside, CO (next to Encampment)  but these cylinders were very dusty, so I cannot guarantee they 
will be reordered.
