Re: [at-l] Stove fuel

["Mara Factor" <m_factor@hotmail.com>]

I ended up skipping anything hot in the morning and most of my meals 
required just two cups or less of boiled water so I used a maximum of a full 
tablet a day - often less.  The best way to tell what you'll need is to cook 
a couple of sample meals at home.

I would have ended up carrying one tab/day and having an extra or two at the 
end of the week.  1 tab = .5 oz.

I had five basic meals...  couscous, ramen, angel hair pasta (cooks fast) 
with Knorr sauce(from the packets), flavored instant mashed potatos, and 
Stove Top stuffing.

I have no experience with alcohol stoves.

Just another data point...
