[pct-l] Cat Stove and Ebbits Fuel Tablets

[chelin at teleport.com (Sharon & Chuck Chelin)]

Good afternoon, Switchback,

I don't use the fuel tablet in the Cat stove; I use it on the Cat stove.  I
turn the stove over and put the tablet on top of what previously was the
bottom.  Depending upon how your pot support is built the spacing to the
bottom of the pot should be about right.  In this way the tablet gets good
air, and is easier to light compared to being in the stove.  Using a stove
in this way gives you the versatility to also use alcohol if necessary.
This same method also works with a Pepsi can stove.
