[pct-l] Canister Stove vs. Alcohol

....  About the only shortcoming is their poor ability
to “simmer”, but I – like most other hikers – don’t simmer anything.  The
stove is full-on to get the water hot, and then it’s off.  When I’m looking
for foods in the supermarket, and a box says, “…simmer for 10 minutes…” it
goes right back on the shelf.


My reply:
If the food says simmer for 10 minutes, we remove the pot from the stove and 
wrap it in a fleece jacket for about 10 minutes. Seems to work okay. You 
might want to try it at home before commiting to this technique on the 
trail.
