[pct-l] Fuel for woodstove in socal?

[Peter Dascalos]

I have had a few SoCal trips with a hiker that only carried a little pot the was used as a fire pit. It was modified slightly so he could set the cook pot on top and not put out the fire. He would gather a few twigs and sticks, just enough to cook his meal, which to my surprise did not take much. He never had any trouble finding fuel!
I am considering this on my next trek, leave the heavy and expensive Jetboil...

  I'm thinking about taking a small woodstove on my thru this year.  Is this feasable?  I haven't done much desert hiking, and didn't know if I could expect to find dry brush to use as fuel to rely on every night to cook with.  It would be nice to have a tiny fire every night to cook on, leave no fire scars, and not worry about buying and carrying HEET.
