[at-l] lessons learned and great moments

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Zip stoves have lots of moving parts, and alcohol stoves have no moving 
parts. They both get the job done for many. I have a Whisperjet gathering 
dust, and my family discarded by SVEA after a little problem lighting it 
once at a Girl Scout camp. Gasoline stoves are relatively heavy, terribly 
reliable and hot, perfect for cold weather outings. Canister stoves work 
very well, and are quite light, I believe lighter for a week's supply of 
fuel plus stove than an alcohol stove plus fuel.

To each their own! (AKA HYOH)
