As long as the canisters are kept warm they work great. I've seen some people bring chemical hand warmers to heat up the canister before lighting.<br /><br />I'm not going to touch the "girlie" comment with a 10-foot pole. ;-)RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-52176499501640799132014-06-02T05:33:07.364-08:002014-06-02T05:33:07.364-08:00wow, you have a few stoves.

Maybe that is a girlie thing though.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-60249054407845095782014-06-02T02:54:36.871-08:002014-06-02T02:54:36.871-08:00Time for a more thorough review with scores for we...Time for a more thorough review with scores for weight and maybe subjective factors like convenience and "green-ness".

Soon you'll have a business and never be able to retire.<br /><br />The Coleman 442 is the same as the Peak 1, right? I remember back when there was a lot of competition between Coleman, Primus, Svea and MSR. IMHO, MSR blows the others away unless you don't care for the noise. I've had a Primus turn into a blowtorch and a Svea that took forever to heat a pot of water during a Winter trip. Those were sold. The Peak 1 just seemed heavy and unstable with a large pot compared to the MSR XGK.

I wanted to buy the coleman 442 but they don't sell them in Canada and I have been looking at Craigslist for a propane BBQ grill. I can't stop myself and lately I have been looking at tents. We only have mec.ca here. Lucky there are no REI's or Cabellas around (or Bass)<br /><br />I was going to use my small micro cannister until it runs out, and then switch to the multifuel MSR and use pump gas. I also have the diesel jet but it is supposed to be very messy<br /><br />OH, and let's not get started on LED flashlights and head band lights<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-89252920579641471612014-06-01T12:02:37.979-08:002014-06-01T12:02:37.979-08:00I've heard about that one.

That is a little bit too extreme as solar seems to be a much better option for charging you stuff and burning wood, even if contained in a stove, may still be banned in some areas of the back country. Interesting concept though...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-27543507596240838592014-06-01T09:04:16.676-08:002014-06-01T09:04:16.676-08:00I used to hike with a club that had as part of its...I used to hike with a club that had as part of its name "Wilderness Gourmet Society".

Pan seared New York sirloin with green pepper sauce, with steamed asparagus with hollandaise, for instance. <br /><br />Or lobster with corn on the cob, and cherries jubilee. <br /><br />Or duck leg confit with boiled parsleyed new potatoes and Harvard beets. <br /><br />Oh gosh, I could go on and on. With apologies to Brandy, Brad and Sonja. <br /><br />But fear not, Bob and I will be pleased to judge the results and offer gentle yet fair, balanced and generally kindly critiques. <br />David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-33821089039500990412014-05-31T23:31:15.987-08:002014-05-31T23:31:15.987-08:00Are you sure you have enough stoves?

Hot water for coffee or tea was often a welcome treat on campgrounds (there was no such thing as camping in the wild in Southern Europe), or we had a fire going.
