[pct-l] Re: Canisters

[matt at mattmaxon.com (matt maxon)]

I have noted one problem with canister stoves.

They have a tendency to leak with the stove attached, which I discovered
when I woke up one morning 2 days from my destination.

Don't leave the stove attached, when your done with it remove it from the
canister.

I cannot detect a leak but it is how ever small, with a 4oz can it doesn't
take much to empty it.
