[pct-l] stoves?

[Edward Anderson]

Yah Kevin,
Pepsi can stoves are so stable that they burn nice holes into whatever they sit 
on - shaped like the bottom of the can. Every picnic table that I chanced to see 
along the PCT had these stabilizing burn holes.

I've been using an alcohol stove (Pepsi can style) for years now. I can't
imagine every using anything else. Every canister stove I've ever seen
weighed more and/or was less stable when cooking. Then there is the issue of
having to carry 2 canisters when on still has a couple days in it, but not
enough to get through the next section. With an alcohol stove, you will
always leave town with the right amount of fuel. One can make an argument
that they, canister stoves, are more convenient, but it's not a strong
argument. My alcohol stove might take longer, but I'm not in a hurry on the
trail. ;)
