Thanks for the tip, Nina. Yeah, that's 34 cents apiece, better than 50 cents at
my local store.

But still...a wee bit dear compared to the Whisperlite. I guess I'm just
puzzled why the solid fuel is so expensive, I'll bet they only cost a penny or
so for the chemicals...? Y'ould think they'd be dirt cheap.
