Well Jim, as usual, you are the stove guru. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. It is always an informative pleasure reading your posts.

I have kept a lot of the stoves I have used over the years but unfortunately I no longer have that Gerry. I liked it for the size and weight and the convenience. That is probably why I mostly use my SnoPeak these days. It too is quick and easy and light as they can be.

Have you ever played with the military M1950 stove? I have one and used it in the military some. It is a heavy beast but when I was very young this was one of the most compact stoves you could find. Here is a link to one. Cheers!
