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