[pct-l] Stove choice :-S

[Paul Robison]

out of my five pepsi can stoves i've had two issues,  one with a melted penny 
and slight explosion,  the other was strong enough to send it skittering accross 
the garage floor.

now of the cat can stove styles i've never had a problem at all, and with a good 
windscreen it has performed well outside, though never in a torrent.  


here is my latest cat can style stove, made from a vienna saussage can and a 
prune juice can,  small, reliable.

goodluck !

Hey All,
So as I sit here making lists of lists and looking over gear I'm torn on the 
stove idea. I like the idea of the pepsi can type stove but am seriously 
considering the MSR Reactor. I currently use an MSR Dragonfly and want to go 
lighter. I intend on dehydrating almost all of my suppers and breakfast is 
oatmeal with tea. I've seen lots of videos on the alchohol stoves in perfect 
conditions, but what about in the real world of wind, rain and snow?

Can anyone help with this please?

cheers,
Mike
